Bowmanville, Ontario – So far this weekend, Michael Adams and Connor Wagland have been untouchable.

After winning pole and then yesterday’s Race 1 of Victoria Day SpeedFest Weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in A Class15051706b and B Class respectively, the pair topped the timesheets again after Sunday morning’s second qualifying session to set the grid for this afternoon’s Race 2.

”We had a great qualifying session,” Adams said. “We made a couple of changes in the middle of the session and went back out. The changes really improved the car, and we set our fastest lap on the last lap. We’re really happy and looking forward to the race.”

Race 1 second-place finisher Reid Arnold will start alongside Adams on the front row, and Quebec contenders Jean-Philippe Jodoin and Michel Bonnet – joining the field this weekend to earn points toward the F1600 Super Series, which shares its opening weekend with the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship – will fill the second row.

Second in B class behind Wagland is veteran Mike Lee, followed by Steve Bodrug and Amy Castell.

Race 2 for the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship and F1600 Super Series closes out Victoria Day SpeedFest at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park by going green at 6:05 PM on Sunday. Follow the action in real time on Twitter at @ToyoTiresF1600.
