HOMESTEAD QUALIYFING: MILLER SNAGS SECOND

Christian Miller put our #74 Honda Civic Si on outside pole at Homestead-Miami Speedway this afternoon, just 3/1000ths of a second back from first place. The top four cars are separated by just over 1/10th of a second, and less than one second covers the top ten!

“It was an amazing run, and everyone at Compass360 did a great job, and I have a wonderful co-driver,” remarked Miller. “The car was quick all weekend. It couldn’t offer anything better. I think we’ll be looking good for the race, we’ve got it figured out pretty good.”

The true diversity of Grand-Am’s Street Turner class show through, with the first six cars: Subaru Legacy, Honda Civic Si, Volkswagen GTI, BMW 330i and Mazda RX-8.

Noted Pobst: “The Compass360 team is strong, and running this Honda reminds me of the good old days in the Firestone Firehawk series. You can really feel the personality of this Honda, and Christian did a fantastic job. He wrung that car’s neck! I think it’s going to be a heck of a race tomorrow.”

Matt Pritiko qualified our #76 Civic Si in 7th, while Jose Leroux put #75 in 9th. A great day, then, with all of our cars starting in the top ten, and well placed for what promises to be an exciting and very competitive race.
