22 B James KAYE GBR Honda Accord N/A

Good qualifying position for Vincent Radermecker and Dan Eaves has managed to out qualify Alan Morrison - makes you wonder how impressive Morrison would have looked if he'd had more competition earlier in the season. I presume both Lemmer and Kaye had problems.

Matty doing his hair for the sprint qually session and failed to get out.

Dead right Vader, but don't tell Woody
Why why WHY is Reid on pole? My classic anti-Reid arguement has now been rendered useless - "how can he say he can challenge for a championship without being quick enough to get pole for a single race?" - but his two teammates had weight and would have beaten him on pace if they didn't have any.
I'm pleased to see Rydell is quicker than Menu, but I've always believed that anyway.
