SCCA Double Nationals // Practice & Qualifying

The SCCA Double Nationals began today, and Cold Track Days was there to cover the event and spread the word about the site. With a weekend chock full of racing, the Grand Prix of Monaco and the Indy 500 both running tomorrow, this was an opportunity to see some racing first hand. Today saw practice and qualifying for nearly all race groups, with Track Trials having their first race to finish out the day. Open wheel cars laid down some fast times, and included Formula Fords, Mazda’s, Continentals, Atlantic's and the new FB class (aka Formula 1000). A number of Sport Racers and a few DSR, C-DSR and CSR cars made up the remainder of the grid, with a Formula Atlantic and C-DSR taking the pole positions. Regional Group 6 had a good showing, with a number of Porsche Turbos and 944’s making for a diverse mix, some fast times and a few exciting qualifying rounds. Tomorrow sees the first of two races for each class, with the event closing out late on Monday. Cold Track Days will be back at it again on Monday, so check back to the sight for a post race recap.
