HOMESTEAD, Florida – The opening laps of the 2016 ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv U.S. Majors Tour season were made Friday, with practice and qualifying sessions were held for Round One of the Southeast Conference Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
More than 250 entries descended on the 2.3-mile circuit for 25 minutes of practice prior to lunch, followed by 20-minute qualifying sessions in the afternoon.
Forty-six Spec Miatas turned qualifying times with both Sellin M. Rollan and Danny Steyn topping the time sheets with identical 1:39.029 (83.612 mph) laps. ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv tiebreakers go to the second-fastest lap, which means Steyn has the provisional pole.
Defending Spec Racer Ford 3 National Champion Kerry Jacobsen, of Deland, Florida, was fastest in that class, which made its first official appearance on a spec Hoosier Tire. Jacobsen’s lap of 1:31.158 (90.831 mph) was more than a second better than his pole time in 2015.
