NA-F2000: Sebring: Pre-event testing notes

SEBRING, FLA. (March 12, 2002) - The 2002 Formula Ford 2000 Zetec Championship finished pre-event testing today for the season-opening doubleheader at Sebring International Raceway.

For the second consecutive day, testing was run under ideal hot and sunny conditions. All 24 cars took part in optional testing on the 3.70-mile road course. The Zetec Championship cars were given three half-hour sessions, two in the morning and one in the afternoon.

While all times were unofficial, timing and scoring was present for all three sessions. Fastest time during the day was set by Bryan Sellers, of Centerville, Ohio, driving for Cape Motorsports, with a time of 2:05.092. This time betters the best time set on Monday during testing and is for seconds quicker than the current lap record, set with the Pinto engine package.

The season-opening doubleheader commences Wednesday, March 13, 2002 with practice at 8:40 a.m. and qualifying for Race One at 1:55 p.m.
