Tommy Milner in the No. 4 Corvette C8.R topped Practice # 2 for the Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park.
The session was interrupted by lightning and rain, which resulted in 45 minutes of the session being lost. Milner’s time, a 51.117s, was set on a drying track.
Ending the session second overall was Jordan Taylor in the No. 3 Corvette C8.R, whose best was 0.329s slower than Milner’s time.
Once the field emerged from the weather delay, the No. 79 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RSR team elected to give Cooper MacNeil time in the car on the wet track.
MacNeil finished the session ninth overall and 1.717s off the back of the No. 3 Corvette.
How then GTLM qualified
The No. 3 Corvette C8.R will start the Northeast Grand Prix from pole position after Jordan Taylor set a time of 49.958s to best his teammate Tommy Milner by 0.106s.
With only three GT Le Mans entries this weekend and one of them being the ostensibly pro-am lineup that the No. 79 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RSR brings, it should be an easy win for Corvette tomorrow if things go according to plan.
Cooper MacNeil in the aforementioned No. 79 Porsche 911 spun off into the wet grass at the left-hander and beached the Porsche.
While he did well to inch the car out of the rain-soaked turf, the red flag still emerged.
That cost MacNeil his two fastest times. He went back out on track but ended the session 0.875s off of Taylor’s pole time.
