The first round of qualifying at the first-ever indoor Cactus Classic is in the books, with the top drivers on the planet finally getting a chance to see how they stack up on the sticky clay of SRS Raceway. Even after a few days of practice to tune their cars and get used to the tricky layout, many of the world's best still committed a few unforced errors that shook up the standings - and left two drivers to top the charts in two classes each.
