I've always said timed practice in Superbike is a living thing. Scholtz topping the sheet isn't shocking — Strack's setup has always clicked at VIR. Escalante's M4 ECSTAR sitting fourth is the real surprise; how he claws back for the race is what I want to see.

VIR has a lot of fast corners so practice really matters.
