Andrew Steppat set a fast lap early in the 15 minute session, but would be eclipsed late by Travis Billingsley, ending Steppat's stranglehold on Pole Position for the season. But with less than a tenth between them, this promises to be an interesting shootout at the top of the order.
It certainly will not be a cakewalk further afield either. Ethan Maestri narrowly edges teammate Bryan Dean for the third starting spot. Paul Maestri starts on the third row, only two tenths behind the second row starters. Matthew Smith makes noticeable improvement and edges Apex Team member Tony Tyree, taking the 6th starting position. He also starts far ahead of rookie rival Nicholas Hargrove (12th position), setting up an interesting run in their points battle.
In all, less than 5 seconds separate the top 8 qualifiers, which holds promise that Sunday nights event may be a barn-burner for action! The Race of France gets set for Sunday night at 9 PM.
