Just for comparison, the existing track record (race) is held by Tim Kautz at 2:22.056 from 2007. Jeremy's Q3 time is insane. Bravo!

[Tim FF19]

Congrats to JT on a smokin' time. Well Done!!

Who sez you need skinny tires!!

Good Luck and have a safe race to all that made the trip to RA.

[Roux]

I like the fact that in the top 4 there are 4 different chassis.

Congratulations Jeremy!

[johnd]

About that lap. Unbelieveable indeed! What a display of courage, talent and desire.

Best of luck to the entire FF grid for a competitive and safe race.

JT, that's beyond words man. Keep it up. When you remember where you were two weeks ago, missing this and that. It is totally beyond comprehension.

Jeremy, Congratulations on the Pole...Best Wishes in the Race!!!

What is the engine and tire combination for the top 10 qualifiers and for the tires who was on the narrow rear tire? Also, who had the Kephart wheels that caused such a stink last year?

A few pics from Q3:

2:20.778? That is WICKED fast. I didn't know a FF could go that fast. I think I better check the throttle on mine, it MUST not be opening all the way! (I wish)

With all the long straight sections at Rd A I'm wondering if Jeremy got more than one good draft during that best lap. If the traffic was spaced just right it could definately help.

I'm pretty sure Steve Knapp does Rubenzer's motors.

Coello was using Iveys the last time I looked.

The pole lap was done with no drafting help but a clear one.

"The pole lap was done with no drafting help but a clear one."

Then that time IS amazing!

[John Robinson II]

My understanding is that is was not just a one off lap...he had several that were that fast. Very Impressive.

[cooleyjb]

My understanding is that is was not just a one off lap...he had several that were that fast. Very Impressive.

I remember seeing at least one other lap under the record on live timing.

[Allen_W]

That time is just insane. Very well done.

Also, looks like Marc Blanc really flew with what I believe is his personal best at RA.

Less than 2 seconds cover from 6th to 16th. Wow. The race should be ungodly.

I remember seeing at least one other lap under the record on live timing.

[Trhoades]

My vote for most underrated driver out there...Marc Blanc...Marc ran well in CF and in top 5 in FF all race at the FF40 till a last lap spin in the rain, He qualifies in the 5th position for the big one. Getter Done Marc...Good Luck

I think Marc's qualifying was awesome. Very happy for him. He was close to this fast at the Kettle - after running so well at the 40th. Go Marc!
