Well, if you didnt think that they would actually have 110 cars on the track at once, guess again. There were exactly 110 cars in Q1 for the CF - Regional race. There were 87 cars for Q1 for the National. For both sessions, the last cars onto the track were entering just as the first cars to go out came down the straight for the start of lap one. It took almost 4 minutes to clear the false grid.
Lots of people did not get any clean laps, but the driving was fantastic, lots of point-bys and everyone being very respectful of the number of cars out there and the fact that cars were going all kinds of different speeds.
They didnt pass out qualifying sheets so my son TJ just wrote down top ten for each group real quick. Note that Tim Kautz was on pole for the National but may have been disqualified for tail pipe infringement, not sure if the penalty was upheld but his times were taken off the sheet. John Robinson we heard broke a swaybar, was in 16th or so, I am sure he will move up tomorrow. Mike Sauce blew an engine early in practice. Tim Dunn was fast in practice but also had problems, his car was split in half.
