New Track record Sandlin--2:35:674

Big crash coming onto front straight after restart on lap 10. 6 or 8 cars damaged. Went under yellow and finished that way.

Weather cool, about 45 at race time with fog holding up start about 20 minutes. I'm sure details will follow. I've got to get points finished. BFG party tonight with $500 cash going to random draw for one driver and 5 $100 to workers. It's 74 right now. Cars are grid now for Sunday qualifying.

Post race impound top 6. Whistled top 3. No problems.

[Jim Drago]

The top 7 drivers qualified in he exact same order today as they did yesterday. Not sure after that.. Pretty crazy.

Awesome job Buras! Congrats for wheeling the 1.6 with all those big '99s!

[Tom Sager]

Sounds like a great event. Huge field with close racing and very limited incidents. Looks like Cendiv was represented well today with Bruce Andersen and Voytek both in the top 10. Way to go guys.

[FTodaro]

With a 1.6 Win and close racing with the 99's looks like the changes may be working out well. Interesting in what the guys who were there think?

_{It doesn't matter that a 1.6 won at Sebring... the 1.6 cannot win at Road America!}

Drago, better let Kyle know Dewhurst stole his login...

[Bench Racer]

Shucks, Kyle is being the front man while Drago is on vacation.

Mr. Burras has done the same previously with the 1.6 @ 1.6 friendly tracks. Great job.

I'll all about &
