Herrin's going to have some solid options for a ride next year if he keeps that pace up

Hopefully none of them are on a Honda.

It seems Attack is able to make a bad ass bike, maybe Herrin can attract some sponsors and get the Attack Yam on the SBK grid.
 
Attack has a bad ass in the pits running the show.
If he has the budget they will be in the game.

What about WSBK?? Who was fast today?
 
Rea was fastest in all three sessions. He had a low side in Turn 5 that sent his bike tumbling but was unhurt. Usual suspects at the top of the WSBK charts.

Combined results from all three sessions had Gagne 14th, Herrin 15th and Jacobsen 18th.
 
Herrin was second to Beaubier in MA provisional qualifying ahead of Elias and Hayden.

Herrin's best Friday WSBK time - 1:24.264
Herrin's best Friday MotoA time - 1:24.269
 
Sweet. Thanks

Gagne over Josh in WSBK is good to see...in some ways.
Both these guys give 100% and are fast mofo’s. :hail
Good guys from what I can tell.

Herrin inside the top 5 in WSBK would be one hell of an entertaining show. That is likely for Sunday if he gets a top ten.

:party

Rob's Supersport field is huge for a pro race. 36 bikes in the first practice session. Must have felt like a club race with that many bikes all over the track.

In his first MotoAmerica race this year, Rob was 24th in the first session with a 1:33.8 and improved to 1:32.620 in provisional qualifying Friday afternoon.

by the way,

why the hell did they schedule the two biggest motorsport events in the bay area on the same weekend? I wonder if Nascar being at Sonoma will affect attendance numbers at Laguna
 
Herrin was 6th fastest in WSBK FP4 with a 1:23.975 bettering his times from yesterday.

Its really cool that it seems like the herculean effort from the Attack crew and Herrin is becoming the big story of the weekend.
 
:thumbup

That is very cool. Superpole for MA Superbike at noon. Go get 'em Josh.


Rob's bike looks awesome. :Port
 
Herrin looks like he's trying too hard on the SBK. His SP1 results were less than stellar, hopefully he battles well for a top 10 spot in a few hours.
 
Looks like Herrin on the MA superbike pole. :thumbup

What up with Roger Lee??
 
RRW.com says Roger Hayden crashed and recorded no time.

Nice to see Eslick on the front row.
 
The corkscrew crew got an eyefull. Bobble, wobble, .....buh bye.
