It was an interesting weekend. I will say that for a regional tech was excellent. a big shout out to Barry Baker chief of tech for popping everyone's hood on the Grid before qualifying to see if you had your restrictor plate in. I wish they would do that in the majors.
As the Moose said. first qualifying, session was kind of wet it stopped raining about a half hr before we hit the track and i and some other had fresh H20's that we did not want to torch so i ran just 3 laps and came in early. many either had RA-1 hard rains or slicks and they got faster as it went on.The second session a 10 lap qualifying race, I started 19th, I think in SM the qualifying race was Bob Keller ( a NASA regular) Murdick, Guthrie Todaro Webb.
As Moose also said, the double yellow that came out the field did not close up on the leaders and event increased the lead.
Keller Murdick Guthrie and Todaro managed a bread away and battled for the first half of the race. Todaro had to spine himself on the entry to thundervally to avoid taking out a back marker. Keller with a two second lead lost his grip and went off hard in the carousel, and retired.
