We ran the qualification for Round #2 today.
It was run at 10V and each car got10 laps to get the braids adjusted, controller dialed in and driver used to the car. Then we ran an additional 10 laps for fastest lap, which determined the quali order. The order of quali runs was random and all cars were qualified in the middle (white) lane. The track was vacuumed and tack clothed before the start of the runs. All cars had their tires swiped before the 10 lap practice session and, again, before their 10 lap quali session.
Here are some pics of the cars pre-quali. It's quite a field; more cars than have ever been at this track for a single race before!:
Great to have Mike's RetroRacer #44 tribute car in the field:

Some very close Q times recorded today. In general, cars that were in the 7.1 to sub-7 second range should race very well on this track.
The race will be held on March 5th, starting around 10:00EST. The order of entry into the race will be in reverse quali order; slower to faster.
Good luck to everyone!
