Finally! Road racing is here!

The World Superbike Championships are upon us... They've started qualifying for Round 1...

I'll just pick Haga for the championship now, since he's had enough years to mature, and with Corser as his teammate for another year the reminder to take it home every race will be right in his pits with him.

:mrgreen:

Qualifying :shooting2: Times:

Corser (Yamaha) 1m59.6s;
Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) 1m59.8s;
Nieto (Suzuki) 2m00.3s;

Kagayama (Suzuki) 2m00.5s;

But Haga's always got that little extra "CRAZY" factor to throw Corser for a loop...
