on August 10th, 2011

Russ Werner fresh off his victory in Saturday’s race took his second pole position of the weekend becoming the only competitor to get below 1:23 when he clocked his best time of 1:22.968. Taylor Archer filled out the front row of the grid nearly a half a second back of Werner with a best time of 1:23.547.
