As reported yesterday by Speedonthewater.com contributing editor Eric Colby, 222 Offshore Australia turned in the fastest lap Saturday on the five-mile, Lake Michigan course to claim the pole position for today’s Class 1 start, followed by Huski Ice Spritz and Pothole Heroes. Though the Unlimited class was slated to run with Class 1, there are no Unlimited-class teams in Michigan City this weekend.
