Qualification - Friday July 6 2007 - Alastaro 

Friday qualification came with 2 runs, even though rain was in the neighbourhood there was racing action. The first round was a test of the reactions of the old Bateman chassis being reset to stop pulling to the right, a good 60" time 0.97 and 300 km/h at half track and an early lift on the throttle for a 6.35 ET.

The second round of qualification was a faster one 6.256 @ 375.23, but the gearbox was not locking up the gears properly. Too high engine revs indicating a lot of slip and power loss. A part of the casing on the gearbox was broken as well. Some evening repair job waiting ahead.
