After warm-up session the racers hoped back in their cars for two amazing qualifying sessions. The pressure was intense, only 1 lap to make your time, and your time had to count. 30 people attempting to qualify into only 16 positions. As it turned out the top sixteen were close to being within 2 seconds of each other. Not quite as close as expected but with only one lap to perform your best, its a lot to ask from the average racer. Not Nolan Scott, who steals pole by 0.03 seconds over David Williams.

Round 1, Round 2 and Semi-finals were all protocol for the two finalists: Nolan Scott (BigTime) from Core Racing and Rudy van Buren from F1RST Racing.
