Suzuki’s Mat Mladin continued
to dominate on Wednesday at Infineon Raceway as riders completed a
Yamaha-sponsored AMA Superbike Test Session.
Mladin recorded the top time on
Wednesday over the 12-turn, 2.22-mile road course at 1 minute, 34.90
seconds. His best time of the test came on Tuesday (1:34.76). Both times
were better than the actual track record, which is owned by teammate Ben
Spies (1:34.991, set in 2007).
The teams were testing in advance
of the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown, presented by Supercuts, May
16-18, in the Sonoma Valley.
Fourteen riders from Kawasaki,
Attack Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Corona Extra Honda attended
the test.
Mladin, a six-time AMA Superbike
champion, was followed Wednesday by teammate Tommy Hayden (1:35.28) and
Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo (1:35.77).
