Friday Practice Notes from Fundidora Park
- The 30th anniversary of the CART Toyota Atlantic Championship gets underway at 8:00 a.m. local time, with a 30-minute practice session.
- The session began under sunny skies, with comfortable temperatures.
- Early in the session the track is quite slick, as it is only used once a year.
- As the session progressed the times begin to drop.
- Pacific Coast Motorsports driver Alex Figge is stuck in traffic early in the session.
- The crew believes Figge is having radio difficulty, as he has not responded to any calls.
- Midway through the session, practice is halted, as No. 19 Valiante has stopped on course.
- The practice session resumes, with five minutes remaining.
- For the final two laps, Figge gets a clear track, but makes a few mistakes, preventing him from moving up the charts.
- At the end of the session, Figge is ninth quickest, with a lap of 1:30.858.
- The first of two qualifying session for Sunday's Tecate Telmex Grand Prix, begins Friday at 12:15 p.m. (local time).
"I'm a little disappointed," said Figge. "As expected the track was pretty slippery, but it got better as the session progressed. Unfortunately I was stuck in traffic most of the session, and with my radio not working my crew couldn't help me find a gap. Late in the session I got some space, but made a few mistakes. I'm not to concerned though, I know I can go a lot quicker."
