A new season of the Cadillac Cup gets the green light!

Carlos Reyes Aiguadé qualified third for the week ahead of Aurelio Leonetti and fifth-placed Nathan Moore.  Robert Ganley and Jamison Sampaio took P6-P7 with the Okhrimenkos — Pavel and Paul – and Felipe Olivetti rounding- out the top ten qualifiers

SOF Race of the Week
