Elton Howard blitzed around the Locke Harbour track in 27.32 seconds to set a record for the track and win the pole position for the race today.

West Olympia in fact acquired the top 2 starting positions as Tom Sisken also flew around the track in 27.51 seconds.

'Those guys were smoking, they must be using rocket fuel', a frustrated Samuel McGregor of Miraclia noted.  ' I broke 28 seconds on my third time around so I figure that is good enough and then vapour boy goes out and kills that mark'.

When asked how he got the car going so fast Howard responded, 'that first turn is gonna be a killer.  It comes up on you real quick, you go from fighting for room to no room real quick and I suspect some of the racers are not going to be ready for it.  If you get a crash I want be ahead of that so maybe I can lap most of the field real quick before the yellow comes out'.

Time-trials were run early this morning on the Locke Harbour track with Elton Howard of West Olympia earning the pole position for the race today.
