Dyson Claims Pole in Atlanta
Dyson Racing driver James Weaver has put the Lola on overall pole at Road Atlanta ahead of tomorrow's Grand Prix of Atlanta
Weaver's lap of 1:11.241 was four tenths ahead of JJ Lehto in the Audi R8 was good for his second straight pole in Atlanta, and his twelfth career pole. "Our car works best with the right ride height," Weaver noted. "Tracks like here, Road America and Infineon are where we are best set up for the fast corners."
Jon Field claimed the P2 pole for Telecis Intersport Racing, while Johnny O'Connell took his first ALMS pole in the GT1 class, and Bill Auberlen earned the first GT2 pole for Panoz Motor Sports' Esperante GTLM.
