NO RACES FOR TEAM ROADRACINGWORLD.COM SUZUKI AT MID-OHIO

Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki faced a less-than-satisfying conclusion to the Mid-Ohio weekend as the AMA Superstock race was ultimately cancelled. Sunday showers delayed the action late into the day and by the time the conditions finally allowed for the AMA Superbike race to be completed, it was assessed by the sanctioning body that darkening conditions and water in turn one made it impossible to fit the support class races into the revised schedule.

It was especially frustrating that the cancellation occurred at one of Chris Ulrich's best circuits, the scene of a 2002 Superstock victory and 2000 250GP podium finish for the Californian. Ulrich came into the round with his sights set on a top-five result.

The squad showed impressive speed during the lead up to Sunday, with Ulrich leading the way. He qualified on the second row aboard his Pirelli-shod GSX-R1000, circulating the 2.4-mile circuit in 1:27.222, eighth best in the session.

Venezuelan Robertino Pietri was also in the top ten in qualifying, posting the tenth fastest lap at 1:27.660.

The team's latest addition, Red Devil Roadracingworld.com's Gary Mason, was competitive at Mid-Ohio as well, qualifying 13^th fastest at 1:28.433.

Team Roadracingworld.com Suzuki will look to make up for this lost opportunity in the series' next round, which takes place at Virginia International Raceway on August 17-19 in Alton, VA.
