Nice run by Boris only to be screwed by this Kelly guy. I can't wait for Eric Curran to be back. This is getting hard to watch.

Owen was consistently quick throughout the entire weekend, he was actually faster in 2 of the practice sessions. Montreal is VERY hard on brakes. My guess is Boris saved as much as he could, but it obviously wasn't enough. Owen Kelly is a very very good driver, his skills rival or exceed that of any one there. The advantage Eric has is that he knows the car, and knows who he's racing against. You can't replace seat time in this situation. I hope he heals soon, can't wait to see him at the track again.

I agree with others, Kelly was having problems from the very beginning of his stint. Said is a very good driver, but I think the car was spent by the time Kelly got in.
