Drissi, driving the No. 5 Jaguar XKR sporting new sponsorship from Alien Versus Predator, Only in Theaters, recorded a 1:15.303-minute lap (94.132 miles per hour) around Portland’s 1.969-mile permanent road course.<BR> <BR> Randy Ruhlman was second fastest in the No. 49 Preformed Line Products Chevrolet Corvette, ahead of Tommy Kendall (No. 11 Jaguar R Performance XKR), Jorge Diaz, Jr. (No. 8 Puerto Rico Grand Prix Jaguar XKR) and Mike Davis (No. 10 New Century Mortgage/GE Access/ACS Express Ford Mustang).<BR> <BR> “It feels great; P1 and I was complaining about the car,” said Drissi. “My first few years in racing, I concentrated on the car. I spoke with Paul and he said to concentrate on the track. We have a good car. It’s a little pushy in some parts and loose in others. So what do you do? I guess I’ll be talking to the data guys.”<BR> <BR> 1 Tomy Drissi Rocketsports Racing Jaguar XKR 1:15.303<BR> <BR> 2 Randy Ruhlman Derhaag Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette 1:15.614<BR> <BR> 3 Tommy Kendall Rocketsports Racing Jaguar XKR 1:16.075<BR> <BR> 4 Jorge Diaz Jr. JD Racing Promotions Jaguar XKR 1:16.586<BR> <BR> 5 Mike Davis ACS Express Racing Ford Mustang 1:16.677<BR> <BR> 6 Joey Scarallo Baucom Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette 1:16.708<BR> <BR> 7 Max Lagod Hypermax Engineering Chevrolet Corvette 1:16.956<BR> <BR> 8 John Baucom Baucom Motorsports Ford Mustang 1:17.300<BR> <BR> 9 Brandon Davis (R) ACS Express Racing Ford Mustang 1:18.446<BR> <BR> 10 Philip Simms Simms Motorsports Chevrolet Corvette 1:18.598<BR> <BR> 11 Tim Cowen Cowen Racing Ford Mustang 1:18.957<BR> <BR> 12 Greg Pickett Team Cytosport Jaguar XKR 1:19.093<BR> <BR> 13 Moneca Kolvyn (R) West Coast Hot Rods BMW/ Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1:21.627<BR> <BR> 14 Paul Gentilozzi Rocketsports Racing Jaguar XKR 99:99.999</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>
