NOTES: -First 19 drivers within one second. -24 drivers went faster today (Saturday) than on Friday (not improving on their fastest laps were Tony Renna, Steven Rikert and Carlos Bonetti). -This is Fredrik Larsson's second (and consecutive) pole of 1996. -First time this year that Phil Hill's son Derek is starting on the front row. -Last year in this race, Tim Moser improved the most position in the race, starting 18th and finishing 8th. Moser is second in points (10 behind) to Larsson. LARSSON QUOTE: Asked to attribute his recent success (two-race win streak, first in points): "Last year I wanted it so much, I think I was guilty of overdriving. This year, I am smoother, calmer, not sliding around. And now, of course, I am very comfortable with rolling starts. And here, the draft is of no consequence. In fact, if you get right up behind someone, you lose all the air; it is then like driving a car with no wings at all." END Rick Roso
