No - but as they need to use the same tyres for most of the weekend, the drivers save them by only really doing three laps in quali - two to get the tyres warm, and the third one to set fastest time. Small mistakes on the quali lap cause big changes in positions. Jarrett was racing much slower karts and that tended to do many more laps in quali last year, so he is still learning this part.
Sounds like Jarrett still has race pace. Excuse my ignorance - Can the go kart be set up differently for quali?
