Grand-Am – Lime Rock Park – Qualifying Times

Rather neatly, on the day we post a Gary Horrocks interview with Wolf Henzler, he (Henzler) sets the pole for Tafel Racing, four thousandths faster than Nick Ham.

The ‘GT Classic’ qualifying session was interrupted by Joe Nonnamaker putting the #43 Corvette into the tyre wall at Turn 9.

"What I needed for the pole was just a very, very good lap with no mistakes and this is what I did on my fourth lap," said the German driver. "It was just a perfect lap. The team and the mechanics made some small changes to the car, which were very good. They just gave me a car to get on pole. Everything needed to be 100 percent to get on pole because it’s such a hard competition."

The race is on Monday.
