It has been anyone’s for the taking in DD2 all season, with Gavin Reichelt
stepping up the majority of the time. His three wins is followed by one each
for Sabré Cook and yesterday’s winner Andy Lee. Christian Bird jumped into
the fun in Phoenix, and is putting in his bid for a victory. Bird (CRG) was the
only driver to dip below the 50-second mark, posting a 49.773-second lap.
Lee (CRG) was second in the order with Cook (CRG) third. Reichelt presented
himself to the grid late, andwas not allowed on the session, with the Prefinal
as his first on-track session of the day after skipping warm-up. DD2 Masters
point leader Alan Rudolph (CRG) returned to Sonoma after spending the day
in Phoenix for a work event, and was fourth overall on the time sheet after
posting the provisional fast time. He will have a front row seat to the battle in
DD2, with Saturday’sMasters winner Mike Urban (CRG) second in class.
The Prefinal was another epic battle including the DD2 field, as Cook, Lee
and Reichelt fought again for another racewin. Bird led theway on the open-
