After an intense Mi-Bike Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) qualifying session at Queensland Raceway, Troy Herfoss secured pole position with a new qualifying record as Cameron Dunker continued to impress in Supersport and will line-up in P1 tomorrow.

Herfoss best lap of 1m07.655s wasn’t quite as fast as his effort this morning of a 1m07.587s, but it was enough to eclipse the previous qualifying record set by Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team) of a 1m07.673s.

Jones will line up P2 tomorrow after posting a 1m07.759s, ahead of teammate Cru Halliday who completes the front row with a 1m07.901s. Despite a fall early in the session at turn four, Josh Waters (McMartin Racing Gotzinger Ducati) rebounded to qualify fourth ahead of Max Stauffer (GTR MotoStars Yamaha) in fifth.

Sixth fastest was Glenn Allerton (GT Racing Team BMW), as Ted Collins (Livson Racing BMW), Broc Pearson (DesmoSport Ducati), Bryan Staring (MotoGo Yamaha) and Anthony West (Addicted to Track Yamaha) complete the top 10
