Qualifying for the Xenon Modified class got underway this morning with Ronald Volker taking the first TQ run here in Kastellaun, German.  The Yokomo ace ended the five minute run well clear of the opposition with Freddy Sudhoff just over 5 seconds adrift with the second fastest time.  Volker said it was definitely a good way to start the day but admitted his car was still difficult to drive and he was having to drive a very fine line which on this occasion was possible as he faced no pressure from other drivers during the heat.
