    Stolen from the ama:
    Finally! Maybe this will help with the lapper issues.
    Maybe.

    So will we just have about 10 people running the
    superbike races next year?

    It's not that big a change. Only two percent. The 2005 rules are:

    "For timed qualifying events, a rider's best lap time must be within
    112% (110% in Superbike) of the fastest qualifying rider's best lap
    time in order to pre-qualify for one of the available grid positions
    in the final."

    It should help, but I doubt it changes a whole lot.

    Chris Cavin claims:
    For a 1:30 lap time, old cutoff was 1:39.0. New cutoff
    is 1:37.2. In a 25 lap race that's 45 seconds difference
    - half a lap.

    Go fast. Take chances.
