Jordan Cane led his first Cooper Tires USF2000 Powered by Mazda test session for Team Pelfrey. Not too bad for the 14 year-old phenomenon’s first try at “wings and slicks”. He was joined in the top five during the second session by his Kiwi teammate James Munro, Parker Thompson (Cape Motorsports with /WTR) and John Cummiskey Racing duo Ayla Agren and Lucas Kohl.
The session was once again extremely tight with top 10 drivers all within Cane’s top lap of 1:24.400.

With many teams holding onto their final set of tires for the final session of the two day test, times in the second Monday session were not as fast as they were in the first session. A number of drivers used the session to simulate race length runs.
For the fourth of five sessions, it was a Team Pelfrey driver leading the way when Pro Mazda rookie Aaron Telitz led his third session of the test. He was followed by Nicolas Dapero (Juncos Racing), Garett Grist (Juncos Racing), Pato O’Ward (Team Pelfrey) and Weiron Tan (Team Pelfrey).
Once again the field was quite tightly packed, with the top eight drivers within one second of Telitz.
