Good morning everyone...

Its the end of day one and here is a short update from Topeka kansas...

The first day qualifying results are posted below,

Day one qualifying was run in the rain with pretty treacherous conditions... The downpour stopped right before the session began, but the track as still very wet the entire time...

Scott Tucker and Aj battled it out for the Pole for the entire time, trading fast times 4 or 5 times... Scott had his ferrari flying in the rain it it is such a beautiful and great sounding car...

Some other news... Young John Buttermore had engine problems on Sunday so did not make the session.

Chris Ingle had his new LS3 car looking and running fast!!!

Mike McGinley has his car all fixed up and loooking good...

Today is an off day in the rotation, so next session won't be until wednesday...

I will post more later when I have more time...

Joe,

I thought there were two Vipers: Stan and Jim Lynch.
Also, three LS3 C6s? Chris Ingle and who else?
The two LS2s, are they AJ and John Buttermore?

jasonberkeley

Mike Tracy jr is in an LS3

ScaryFast

Aren't you supposed to be there, too?

Wooo! Go Oli!

I decided pretty early in the year that I didn't feel like going back to Heartland Park in October. The track isn't my favorite, the haul from the east-coast is long, and the weather is often cold and wet this time of year.

When they announced Road America for the Runoffs next year, that pretty much iced-it for me to save the effort.

Plus with the price of gas, and the general state of the economy, I feel better saving the money for next year's season...

I hope that everyone that did make the trip is having a fun safe race-week, though!

There are two Vipers - Lynch and Stan.

There are actually four LS3s - me, both Tracys and McGinley. Tracy Jr. detonated his though during the test day, so his dad is going to the C5 and giving the kid his LS3...see?

AJ and Buttermore (after detonating and replacing his engine) are LS2s. DiPippo is also in an LS2...and there may be others.

I think Joe was just talking about the folks that went out in the rain and was not listing the totals of who are here.

BuckeyeZ06

Thank you for the clarification; I hope I didn't come off as antogonistic...

You?!!?!?! Nah! That's my job... he he

Go...Go...Go...Chris!

long day today and an exciting T-1 qualifying session...

Ed Z laid dowm the first fast lap. andy countered, Ed z then went faster ....

Andy said ok, lets try something different and came in for 4 new tires... And set the pole time... ed and scott both came in and ed got tires but did not do another fast time...

These two ferraris are beautiful and have the coolest wail going up pit straight!!! Its pure sound heaven!!!

Anyway, final qualifying is Thursday, so more details then!!!
