Jeff Altenburg and Bill Auberlen completed the top three.<BR> <BR> On a cool, sun drenched day in Northern Georgia, the weather conditions definitely contributed to some very fast practice times. Twelve drivers recorded times faster than the Road Atlanta Speed Touring Car qualifying record of 1:39.004 for the 12-turn, 2.54-mile circuit. Leading the way was Kleinubing, pilot of the No. 42 RealTime Racing Acura RSX-S, who set a blistering fast lap of 1:37.882 (93.418 mph) in the morning session.<BR> <BR> “The track conditions and the weather were good,” Kleinbuing said about the fast lap times. “It was a pretty good session. I think the biggest thing (we have going) is that we have a better motor package this weekend. We have a good chassis and our team made a really wise decision on the tires this morning, which paid off.”<BR> <BR> Altenburg, driving the No. 40 TriPoint Mazdaspeed Mazda Protégé ES, had the second quickest combined time for both practices sessions. Altenburg recorded his fastest lap in the morning session with a 1:38.204 (93.112 mph).<BR> <BR> Auberlen, who clinched the Speed Touring Car Drivers’ Championship in Round Eight, turned the third fastest time of 1:38.469 (92.861 mph) in his No. 93 Turner Motorsports/ H & R Springs BMW 325i.<BR> <BR> Chuck Hemmingson was fourth quickest and Peter Cunningham was fifth.<BR> <BR> 1,(42), Pierre Kleinubing Acura RSX-S, 1:37.882, 93.418.<BR> <BR> 2,(40), Jeff Altenburg Mazda ProtegeES, 1:38.204, 93.112.<BR> <BR> 3,(93), Bill Auberlen BMW 325i, 1:38.469, 92.861.<BR> <BR> 4,(19), Chuck Hemmingson Mazda ProtegeES, 1:38.525, 92.809.<BR> <BR> 5,(1), Peter Cunningham Nissan SE-R, 1:38.556, 92.779.<BR> <BR> 6,(64), Bob Endicott(R) Acura RSX-S, 1:38.570, 92.766.<BR> <BR> 7,(4), Shauna Marinus Mazda ProtegeES, 1:38.585, 92.752.<BR> <BR> 8,(27), Nic Jonsson(R) BMW 325Ci, 1:39.102, 92.268.<BR> <BR> 9,(92), Will Turner BMW 325i, 1:39.183, 92.193.<BR> <BR> 10,(99), Bob Stretch BMW 325Ci, 1:39.259, 92.122.<BR> <BR> 11,(81), Mike Fitzgerald Lexus IS300, 1:39.265, 92.117.<BR> <BR> 12,(50), Matt Plumb(R) BMW 325, 1:39.271, 92.111.<BR> <BR> 13,(94), Frank Selldorff BMW 325i, 1:39.852, 91.575.<BR> <BR> 14,(2), Eric Curran Nissan SE-R, 1:39.963, 91.473.<BR> <BR> 15,(88), Roger Foo Mazda ProtegeES, 1:40.014, 91.427.<BR> <BR> 16,(84), Mike Van_Sicklen(R) Lexus IS300, 1:40.098, 91.350.<BR> <BR> 17,(18), Chet Wittel(R) Mazda ProtegeES, 1:40.099, 91.349.<BR> <BR> 18,(46), Zac Mazzotta(R) Acura RSX-S, 1:40.139, 91.313.<BR> <BR> 19,(29), James Sofronas BMW 325Ci, 1:40.153, 91.300.<BR> <BR> 20,(37), Matt Richmond(R) BMW 328i, 1:40.387, 91.087.<BR> <BR> 21,(83), Tim Pappas(R) Lexus IS300, 1:40.502, 90.983.<BR> <BR> 22,(36), James Clay(R) BMW 325i, 1:40.756, 90.753.<BR> <BR> 23,(13), Charles Espenlaub Mazda ProtegeES, 1:41.011, 90.524.<BR> <BR> 24,(86), Robert Baxter Mazda ProtegeES, 1:41.075, 90.467.<BR> <BR> 25,(17), Larry Stepp(R) Mazda ProtegeES, 1:41.086, 90.457.<BR> <BR> 26,(78), Jon Prall Audi A4, 1:41.129, 90.419.<BR> <BR> 27,(41), Peter Schwartzott Acura RSX-S, 1:41.252, 90.309.<BR> <BR> 28,(47), Andrew Lewis Acura Integra R, 1:41.426, 90.154.<BR> <BR> 29,(39), Rick Gilhart Acura Integra R, 1:41.528, 90.063.<BR> <BR> 30,(02), Scott Poirier(R) Mercedes-Benz, 1:41.706, 89.906.<BR> <BR> 31,(77), Michael Galati Audi A4, 1:41.946, 89.694.<BR> <BR> 32,(44), Kevin McKee(R) Acura Integra R, 1:42.082, 89.575.<BR> <BR> 33,(98), Rick Maki(R) BMW 325Ci, 1:42.322, 89.365.<BR> <BR> 34,(24), Jim Osborn BMW 325i, 1:42.416, 89.283.<BR> <BR> 35,(21), Justin Elder(R) Mazda ProtegeES, 1:42.819, 88.933.<BR> <BR> 36,(16), Phil Parlato BMW 325i, 1:43.415, 88.420.<BR> <BR> 37,(9), Mark German Mazda 626, 1:44.916, 87.155.<BR> <BR> 38,(79), Nick Woodhouse BMW 325i, 1:47.561, 85.012.<BR> <BR> 39,(00), Andrew Monterrubio Acura Integra R, no time.<BR> <BR> 40,(03), Peter Lockhart Mercedes-Benz, no time.<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
