Tosolini TQs Sedan at 2010 Winternats

This week sees the annual Winternationals take place at the Ft. Myers track in Florida. Despite the international entry being down on previous years, the National entry is still pretty strong with a lot of the top saloon and 1/8th scale drivers in attendance. Making his US debut with the new Capricorn LAB C01, with Capricorn engines and tires, Chris Tosolini managed to stick it on the pole position running his fastest time in the final heat, which despite a touch with DJ Apolaro where he lost 2 seconds was still able to break the qualifying record by 3 seconds. Paolo Morganti with the Serpent 733 and Paul Lemieux with the Xray NT1 line up 2nd and 3rd, while Mike Swauger makes it 4 manufacturers in the top 4 as he lines up in 4th. In the 1/8th scale Open class it was Mike Swauger that took the pole position for Mugen, in front of the Serpent 966 pairing of Paolo Morganti in 2nd and DJ Apolaro in 3rd.
