By Patrick Stephan The qualifying session to set the field for USF Pro 2000 started out with the air temp at 78, track up to 96 and the humidity down slightly to 74F. Michael d’Orlando was P1 as we approached the final five minutes of the session with a lap of 1:17.5200, followed by Kiko […]
By Patrick Stephan Turns out that Papasavaas did indeed take checkered flag twice, thinking it was pretty close, especially as race control had to review post session. The penalty for blowing the checkered flag is loss of two starting positions. Here is the corrected starting line-up for Race #1: SP Car Driver Name Time1 22 […]
By Patrick Stephan This USF2000 Championship presented by Cooper Tires qualifying session is the only one for the series this weekend. This will set the grid for Race #1 and potentially all the races. Races #2 and #3 will be set by a driver’s second and third quickest laps, unless a driver can set a […]
By Patrick Stephan The first of two qualifying sessions today for Saturday’s pair of USF2000 Pro presented by Cooper Tires races got started promptly at 10:25am ET here at the Mid-Oho Sports Car Course. Ambient temp was 72F, the track at 83F and the humidity a balmy 80F. With everyone using a carry over set […]
By Patrick Stephan The USF2000 presented by Cooper Tires session had a couple interesting announcements before it started. First, race control announced that the track had adjusted the braking markers for Turn 2 (the Keyhole) overnight. They were moved 100 feet deeper in to the corner, definitely something the driver’s would want to know about...
By Patrick Stephan Just couple quick notes from what remains a hazy Mid-Ohio. The session would stop 15 minutes through when Lindsay Brewer’s 93 car got stuck in the grass outside of the keyhole (between Turns 11 and 12). We would get another red to end the session when the #4 of Ricardo Escotto slowed […]

By Patrick Stephan Simon Sikes brought the field to green with contact near the back as the flag was waving. Four wide down the front straight and Papasavvas gets by as the field makes it through Turn 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…maybe…yes, 8, 9, and someone goes of at Turn 10…it’s the 90 […]
By Patrick Stephan Pole sitter Myles Rowe will bring the field to the green with a lead of 30 (120 to 90) over Kiko Porto. Alongside Rowe is Francesco Pizzi and the field makes it through Turn 1 but they are stacked 2 and three deep in to Turn 2 and that pushes Lirim Zendelli […]
