Post by mlittle » Sat Aug 23, 2008 1:45 pm

All throughout 2007, former Atlantic Championship contenders Franck Perera and Raphael Matos fought tooth-'n-nail for the championship......apparently, they've transferred their competitive rivalries to the Indy Lights series; throughout most of today's qualifying session, both Matos and Perera swapped fast lap for fast lap, with the Frenchman getting the better of the Brazilian...........
