"Team KOOL Green keeps giving me a great car, so it's fun to push it hard," said the Ulsterman, "The fact that I did a 5.6 (1:05.647 seconds) on my first lap shows that I'm quite comfortable with the car and ready to push straightaway. My best lap wasn't perfect so there is a little more time in the car and myself. Tomorrow depending on the temperature and weather conditions it will probably be a faster day. We're going well at the minute but we need to keep working at it to keep pole.
