Braselton, GA – Make it two poles at Road Atlanta and a bigger championship
lead for Victor Carbone. The young Brazilian set a new lap record of
1:25.192 during morning qualifying to take pole position and three more
championship points ahead of teammate Fabio Orsolon. The Alegra Motorsports
duo have dominated the official part of the event, pacing every single
session with Carbone going wire-to-wire for his second career F2000 victory
and Orsolon finishing second in the first race of the weekend on Friday
afternoon.
Starting third will be Rob Nicholas, who took the Masters Class victory
yesterday and almost got by Carbone for the lead in the late stages of the
race. On the outside of row two will be the first of three entries from
Liberty Motorsports, Tim Kautz.
Jonathan Scarallo, with a fresh engine installed overnight, will start fifth
alongside former F2000 Champion Cole Morgan.
Brian Belardi, in another Liberty entry, qualified seventh. Phil Lombardi,
Chris Gumprecht and Keith McCrone, Scarallo’s R-Sport teammate rounded out
the top ten.
Following in 11^th was yesterday’s CellMark Paper Hard Charger, Matthew
Inge, who was reported to have a weak motor. Chris Livengood, after posting
the fourth fastest time in the morning practice in the only Pinto-powered
chassis, was 12^th. Tim Minor, Gerald Kraut and Ardie Greenamyer followed.
SMR got Tim Paul’s #06 prepped for the session following heavy damage during
yesterday’s race. Paul is nursing a sore elbow but will make the 1:15pm
race start.
Action continues today with the second and final 18-lap or 30-minute race of
the weekend, scheduled to start 1:15pm. Fans and competitors can follow live
