Ryan Justice Leads Final Practice at Mosport

September 1, 2005. Out-pacing 33 other drivers and ending on top of the charts in the final practice session was Ryan Justice. With the official time of 1:16.417, Ryan has great momentum leading into the Saturday morning qualifying.

"The car just got better with every adjustment we made", said Justice. "John, Nick and I [engineer and driver coach] have been working really hard on our entire package and today we just put it all together. Saturday morning we'll try to keep on our same rate of progress and back today up with a strong qualifying run."

Ryan's quick time puts him just .074 seconds in front on Pablo Donoso who has qualified on the pole in the last 3 out of 4 events. Expect a very competitive qualifying field tomorrow as .991 seconds now separates 1st to 14th position.
