Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 okay - stupid question time... When do the practice runs actually start? Are they all week, or just on Friday before the Qualifying rounds. Planning on going up on Thursday, but on the site all it says is "Rider Confirmation" and "Timed Training"

TitusTi Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Exactly, just preorder. What's the issue? HR, you on a media pass? I should be in the pits with a beer or 2.
