W.G. Invitational: Race One Starting Grid

Friday, June 10, 2005 WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - Sy Aryeh pipped Peter Ludwig for pole for this afternoon's first of two Skip Barber Racing's Watkins Glen Invitational races. Dick Lippert, Ivo Guerguev, Charles Anti and Murray Marden round out the first three rows. It was a 20-minute session, so if you didn't come in for any set-up changes, you could count on getting eight laps in. Ivo Guerguev put up a 2:13.858 on lap two to set the pace, then did a 13.4 two laps later. Dick Lippert then took pole with 13.274 (Aryeh was 13.302, Ludwig 13.330). Lap six, Aryeh broke into the 12s (2:12.909), which held for the remaining 3 minutes, though Ludwig also broke into the 12s on his last lap.
