The early stages of Q2 saw the drivers of all four categories mixing it up for the top positions but as the track heated up Todd Coleman (Ferrari Denver) then Jason McCarthy (Wide World Ferrari) started to set the pace. McCarthy remained quickest until the final stages with a time of 1m43.9s, but the standings were destined to change as not all the drivers had come out of the pits.
With ten minutes remaining Manny Franco was down in P29 but the race 1 winner bolted on a new set of tyres on to clock a lap time of 1m43.3s in the final stages, which well ahead of the rest of the field and more than good enough for pole. With this sort of form, the Ferrari Lake Forest man is now 9 points behind the top slot and looks as if he could be in with a great chance of taking the title.
