Provisional Pole for Andrew!

Andrew ran his best lap of the weekend on his final qualifying lap. He was second until that time behind Blake Clements by .02 until the last lap.

But first, the rest of the story...

We went to the on site chassis dyno about 30 minutes before our session and with some changes with the help of the Rebello racing crew we were able to find about 4 more hp in a great tuneup for the actual conditions we were going to qualify under.

Andrew tried to work together with a few cars and that did work well but about 2 laps to go he found a gap large enough that he got the last flying lap without catching another car. With about 60 cars on the track, that was a miracle!

Now we all need to remember that this was just the first qualifying session of 4 total so others could easily go faster but even if we do not I think we will stay near the top of the board, probably not dropping out of the top 5.

Here are the top 10 times:

Andrew - 2:01.058
Clements - 2:01.289
Mark Pombo - 2:01.313
Valafar - 2:01.533
Matt Pombo - 2:01.579
Willlenborg - 2:01.626
Rampelberg - 2:01.645
Coello - 2:01.689
McSpadden - 2:01.814
Reynolds - 2:01.822
