It was very exciting to see Alex grab that pole position. He only did the test day Sunday and first qualifying session on Monday before having to return to school, missing the next two qualifying sessions. So he did it with only 2 sessions and minimal track time because that first qualifying session was a debacle.
In his last session, he masterfully worked his way through the field, lowering his lap time each clean lap and showed a level of speed that was awesome.
The only way one could get through a field like that was to be much faster than everyone. There was very little cooperation and everyone had their own agenda...which was too slow for Alex.
The best part about about it is Alex is one of the nicest people you'll meet and sharp as a tack. I know his father Dave couldn't be more proud and we were all beaming with joy when we found out he grabbed the pole position. You just can't be jealous when pure talent shines like that. I still don't know exactly what happened during the race to Alex but I know he also has excellent, unshakeable racecraft.
I can't wait to see where he goes from here!
