Just for reference both World Superbikes (before going to only Pirellis) and AMA superbikes have gotten into the 1:24s.
my vote is for 1:20's. I mean, these bikes are so much more technically advanced than the superbikes right? Not to mention the 230 + horsepower
I voted for 1:22's, but that might be a stretch. Troy Bayliss got the fastest time in today's first practice session - a 1:24.547, beating out Nicky Hayden's 1:24.639. Hopkins was 3rd fastest with a 1:24.785, followed by Gibernau (1:24.889), Edwards (1:24.922) and Rossi (1:24.969).
jesus the bikes are so loud and so fast, it looks in person like they are riding a dirt bike. They are throwing them around and coming out of turns sideways!!!! My guess is for the 1:22's

I'm just a silly girl, I know nothing about racing and other such things.
I did vote 1:22's though
I'm thinking most will be strong 1:23's, but I think Hayden, Rossi, those guys can squeeze in a few 1:22's.
1:21 might be possible, but I think that is stretching it just a lil....
What do I win for being right just like everyone else?

Silence, silly girl...Originally Posted by purpgixxerchic";p="220817
I think we'll be seeing the 1:23s today... and maybe even a high 1:22 is possible from a couple people. the only thing that really matters is happening tomorrow and i expect it'll be a lot like the MRA races in that people just tend to wick it up a little bit for qualifying and racing than they show in practice.

FINALLY!Originally Posted by purpgixxerchic";p="220817
I vote for low 1.23's
I just think Laguna isn't going to be the place (more technical and tight rather than fast and flowing) where lap times are going to significantly drop and dip into the 21's-22's, even with MotoGP bikes.

Nicky just hit 1:23.7!
Did anyone notice how most of the riders are complaining about how bumpy and unsafe Laguna is? Sounds like us complaining about CDR.
Oh and low 23's high 22's

Turns out very high 1:23's and low 1:24's for the race. Colin set the record at a 1' 23.915.
MRA 36 & AMA 336
I'm not even gonne ask what I win. was I right? What did I win?
However, what are we talking about here in terms of this poll? Fastest overall time on the track was 1:22's, however new track record (race wise) was set by Edwards and stood at 1:23.9 something as of yesterday......
Oh, and Doug/king nothing, Mista
