O’Hara grabs pole after exciting qualifying session – May 29 04

John O’Hara qualified first, recording a 1m 10.501 with five minutes of the thirty minute qualifying session left to run. Christian Jones had set the initial pace with a 1m10.784 lap and then sat in the pits believing he had done enough to take the top spot. Jones immediately rejoined the fray once O’Hara had gone quicker but despite his best efforts he was unable to topple O’Hara from the top spot.

JoJo Silverio was third on 1m 11.013 with Mark Goddard fourth recording 1m 11.331. Silverio reported no problems whilst Goddard missed half the session after taking to the escape road at the chicane and stalling the engine. Richard Joson followed in fifth place, his 1m 12.096 a significant improvement over his practice times. Enzo Pastor was next up recording 1m 12.314 followed by first Promotion Class runner, Dado Pena, with a 1m 12.325 just ahead of fellow Promotion Class driver, Tyson Sy, on 1m 12.464.

Aaron Caratti was next up with 1m 12.749, a great job considering these were really his first flying laps of the tricky Subic Circuit. He lost all his practice time after his Thursday Morning crash. Kenkou Miura and Roland Hermoso were 11th and 12th on the grid with 1m 13.851 and 1m 14.672 laps respectively. Last was Mine Tuason who misfired his way round to 1m 21.458.

Expect fireworks tomorrow – Jones is not going to let O’Hara win easily and Silverio and Goddard are close enough to the pace to spring a surprise.
