I was watching this morning.. 

 

From memory

 

Cliff "faster than a Redneck Fame" Brown on pole with 217.7or8  The rest north of 218

Andrew Von Charboneau

Stephan Tisseront

Dan Tiley

Alex 

Dillon Machavern

Keith Andrews

Todd Lamb

Bruce Anderson jr

 

Apparently Danny went off early and stuck in wet grass, not sure what happened. It will be a tough race for him as as yesterdays times were over a second slower, not sure where that puts him in combined qualifying. I am sure he  will get back to the front, but hard to win in that crowd if not starting up front.

Grid in about 40 minutes.  Should be a lot of position changes if they get some sun into the track.  Good luck everyone.

Huge congrats to Danny! Coming from 16th to win that race is a feat that VERY few could pull off!  I can't wait to see the video. 

Looked like the Autotecknik guys were going to line up and check out, they were 1-2-3 for awhile.. 

 

Good runs by lots of guys.. I think that is one of Tileys best finishes? Jeff Labounty up there as well.  No matter where, Andrew seems to always be fighting for the win..  Excited to watch race monitor tomorrow and see some write ups. 

 

We really need video feeds  for atleast the majors races :(

Another shout out to Dillon Machavern who again did the back to back races in SM and GT-1.  Finished 5th in SM and 1st in GT-1 beating out Simon Gregg for the win.  Oh, forgot to mention a new GT-1 lap record to go along with his previously established lap record for SM.  Way to go Dillon, Panic Motorsports, Heritage Motorsports and Tommy Riggins Racing.

Should also have recognized Dan Tiley.  Dan's drive to 3rd place was impressive.

It was less than a foot at the line with Charbs charging hard - he was wishing the finish line was fifty feet further down the track!  As I said to start the post-race interviews, "You guys are nucking futz!"

 

Great race, and on the official results this morning I see Danny now has the SM track record at 2:18.184.  Great weather again today, so it might get broken again.
