Riley Dickinson and Tyler Gonzalez claimed overall pole positions for this weekend’s pair of Pirelli GT4 America races at Road America.

Dickinson, in the Pro-Am class No. 7 ACI Motorsports Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, reeled off a 2:14.887 lap in Q1 to edge out Silver class pole-sitter Michael David Ortmann in the No. 4 JMF Motorsports Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Evo.

ACI teammate and fellow Porsche Motorsport North America Selected Driver Loek Hartog set the third quickest time overall in the No. 9 Porsche, while Friday pace-setter Marc Miller was fourth in the No. 37 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4 and Jesse Webb completed the overall top-five for Race 1 in the No. 3 JMF Aston.

Am class pole honors for the first 60-minute sprint went to James Clay in the No. 36 BimmerWorld BMW M4 GT4 EVO.

Q2 saw a Silver class sweep of the top four overall starting positions, led by Gonzalez’s 2:15.326 in the No. 68 RAFA Racing Team Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2.

Jonathan Neudorf was second quickest in the No. 3 JMF Aston, followed by championship leader Kenton Koch, of Random Vandals Racing and Mads Siljehaug’s No. 71 Marco Polo Motorsports Toyota.

Pro-Am class honors for Race 2 went to the fifth-placed No. 23 Nolasport Porsche of Matheus Leist, while Darius Trinka took the No. 98 Random Vandals BMW to the Am class pole for Sunday’s round.

Of note, the No. 07 Skip Barber Racing entry, which suffered an accident in Friday’s second practice, has reverted to its Aston Martin Vantage GT4 for the remainder of the weekend after initially switching to a Fast Track Racing-owned BMW chassis due to gearbox issues with the Aston.

Race 1 gets underway at 5 p.m. CST with live coverage on SRO’s GT World YouTube channel and on Twitch.
