• 1718 - Dan Stauffer down to 22.742, fourth quickest
• 1717 - Jamie heading out again now, will only get the chance at one more flyer I would think... The wind really quite strong here which would be causing them some problems
• 1716 - Wayne Maxwell and Bryan Staring on out laps now, Shannon Johnson also heading out again now, 3 minutes to run
• 1715 - Giles to third with a 22.726..  Coxhell up to seventh with a 23.587
• 1714 - Jamie has decided to get serious, the Yamaha man goes to the top of the charts with a 22.394... I expected him to go quicker and he still might do so...
• 1712 - Staring improves now with a 22.909 but remains fourth
• 1710 - Dan Stauffer down to 22.855 but remains third in the rankings. Allerton improves to a 23.664 and is currently eighth

• 1706 - Giles improves to a 23.275
• 1706 - Maxwell fifth now with a 23.222
• 1705 - Gilesy down to 23.299 now to go fifth quickest, Maxwell up to sixth quickest with a 23.318 to push Krusty back to seventh
• 1702 - Rain is forecast for tomorrow and of course due to the this unique double header format to be run this weekend we have racing all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
• 1659 - Jamie Stauffer and Shannon Johnson on out laps now
• 1656 - Krusty has started to get get serious now, the first of the fancied runners to lower their time from this morning, a 1m23.618 to the DVS / Oleon man to promote himself to sixth quickest
• 1649 - Superbikes heading out of pit lane now for their final qualifying session
• 1646 - Best wishes to the patient for a full recovery
• 1645 - We have lift off
• 1643 - Rotors running now and getting ready for take off
• 1641 - After the helicopter clears the area Superbike qualifying will get underway followed by shortened final qualifying sessions for the FZ-6 Cup and 125 classes
• 1637 - The patient is now being transferred into the helicopter
• 1627 - There doesn't seem to be any rush to transfer the patient from the ambulance to the helicopter as obviously every precaution being taken
• 1622 - The ambulance is now alongside the helicopter
• 1619 - The helicopter arrived at 1619
• 1616 - We are waiting for the helicopter to arrive now and we expect it to land on the main straight and take the injured rider off to hospital
• 1604 - We are still waiting for a start here today, the ambulance is yet to leave so perhaps we are waiting for a helicopter to arrive
• 1554 - Grids decided thus far - Superstock - Naked/Twins - Supersport - FX Cup
• 1541 - Clean up crews are busy sweeping the track of debris ad I don't think we will be too far away from a restart. The ambulance has yet to leave the track
• 1532 - The second ambulance has just arrived now in case the riders need to be transported to hospital which I would imagine is fairly certain
• 1532 - The bike wreckage is being removed now. When things finally get underway again it will be straight into Superbike Final Qualifying
• 1529 - The ambulance is moving off the track now.
• 1525 - The rider is now being transferred into the ambulance
• 1523 - Preparations still being made to move the rider but he has still not been moved as yet
• 1517 - It looks now as though the medical personnel are preparing to move the most seriously injured rider into the ambulance, every precaution obviously being taken in case their are any spinal injuries
• 1514 - It appears that it was not caused by a rider coming out of pitlane but instead by a rider failing to take turn ten and running wide of the tyre barrier and then straight across the main straight where he as come together with a rider at speed on the main straight... Medical staff still attending to the injured. One rider appears to be okay but the condition of the other rider is unknown at this stage
• 1503 - With six minutes remaining in the FX Cup session a huge crash on the pit straight has halted proceedings.  It appears as though a rides has come out of pitlane in front of another rider running at full speed down the straight and the two have come together in a very big way.  Wreckage is strewn across the circuit. One rider was up and moving while the other was lying prone and is being attended to by the Suzuki sponsored Racesafe personnel so they are in the best of hands.
• 1444 - Provisional Combined Results from Supersport Qualifying

1. Crowe 23.884
2. O'Halloran 23.887

• 1442 - Holland has gone out and had a crack, a 23.984 to be third quickest as the clock stops and riders are on their final lap now
• 1440 - Gareth Jones into eighth now  with a 25.062
• 1435 - Maxwell has made an improvement to 1m25.155 to be eighth quickest on combined time
• 1421 - None of the front runners improving in this session thus far and most in fact sitting out and conserving their tyres.
• 1413 - In the nakedbike final qualifying session Scott Charlton took pole with his morning time good enough to take the honour. He didn't ride in the afternoon session. I expect he will ride in this afternoon's Superbike final qualifier though. He ended first qualifying on the deck after a nasty fall but he should be back in action later this afternoon
• 1412 - Supersport machines head out of pitlane now to commence their final qualifying session
• 1301 - Lunch break is on now. We are shutting down the live page now until things get interesting again later this afternoon. After lunch we have final qualifying sessions for Superstock, Nakeds/Twins, Supersport, FX Cup, Superbike, FZ6 Cup and 125 with the sessions running in that order. We will do the live page for the Supersport and Superbike sessions.

• 1241 - Pit lane open again now...
• 1238 - Scott Charlton was the faller. Everything has been cleared and we should be up and running again shortly
• 1234 - Session will be restarted again with 8 minutes to run... Rider looks to be fine but machine stranded in the middle of the track
• 1233 - And just as we got up to speed... Another rider gets a bit too eager with the right go grip and launches himself over the top... Red flag out again...
• 1232 - Riders working their way back up to speed now... Staring first to improve with a 23.092 to be the closest to the dominant Yamaha dynamic duo
• 1229 - Riders exiting pitlane now for the remaining 12 minutes of the session... Some riders would have welcomed that break in proceedings to change rubber and suspension settings while the clock was not ticking...
• 1225 - With 12 minutes remaining in the session the current state of affairs is...

1. Jamie Stauffer 1m22.786
2. Dan Stauffer 23.007

• 1223 - A rider was down in the middle of the track which caused the red flag but he is up and moving about okay and we should be underway again shortly unless there was an oil down.  The session will be restarted with 12 minutes remaining. The faller was Shannon Etheridge but he looks fine
• 1221 - Red Flag
• 1220 - Well there is that promised 22, a 22.786 to Jamie, stand by for another quick one...
• 1219 - Another quick one to Dan, a 23.007, oh so close to a 22....  We will definitely see 22s before this session is out though and perhaps even a 21 if they decide to get really excited.
• 1218 - Jamie improves now to a 23.34. The current order is Dan, Jamie, Bryan, Scott, Shawn, Russell, Wayne, Glenn, Anthony and Adam rounds out the top ten.
• 1217 - 15 minutes to run in this session now and Dan is continuing to string good laps together, he just lowered the mark again with a 23.04
• 1216 - Holland into the 23s now, sixth quickest with a 23.96. Charlton is up to fourth ahead of Giles after putting in a 23.83.  Dan quicker again now, just crossed the line with a 23.34
• 1215 - Dan Stauffer on top now with a 23.48 to make it four men in the 23s.  Just outside is Charlton on 24.09 followed by Maxwell, Gobert
• 1212 - With 20 minutes to run in this sweaty first session Jamie, Bryan and Shawn are still the only ones in the 23s.  Rain has been forecast for some parts of the area but it looks unlikely we will get any here today, nonetheless some riders might have a red hot go at the end of this session just in case... Especially with rain forecast for the wider area tomorrow and the possibility of some wet races
• 1211 - Jamie Stauffer is maintaining the rage with the first 1m23 for the day, a 1m23.763 but Staring right behind on 23.79 followed by Giles on 23.86
• 1210 - A look back at yesterday.... Practice saw Team Yamaha again stamp their authority on proceedings with the Stauffer brothers more than half a second ahead. After second practice however Team Suzuki’s Shawn Giles was less than a tenth behind the Yamaha duo and Honda’s Bryan Staring showed that Pirelli could put up with the heat by ending the session fourth quickest, only a couple of tenths behind Giles. Kawasaki's change to Dunlop obviously agreed with Wayne Maxwell as the Kawasaki man was fifth quickest, only hundredths of a second behind Staring. Four manufacturers in the top five covered by only four-tenths of a second certainly bodes well for an exciting weekend ahead. In fact the entire top ten on Thursday were covered by only a single second with Charlton (Yamaha) sixth ahead of Allerton (Honda), Johnson (Kawasaki), Holland (Honda) and Fergusson (Honda). Suzuki duo Craig Coxhell and Robert Bugden sit just outside the top ten with Etheridge (Yamaha), Gobert (Kawasaki) and Roe (Honda) rounding out the top 15.
• 1205 - Weather is damn hot, how hot?  Bloody hot indeed!  Track temperature would have to be approaching 50C and ambient seems to be heading towards the high 30s. A stiff breeze is also blowing across the circuit
• 1203 - Superbikes heading out of pitlane now for their first qualifying session of the weekend in this all new double header format that will make up rounds two and three of the championship
