Well-driven. It looks like they inverted the field to make it interesting, but you were back in front by the end of the first lap. It is fun to run in open classes sometimes. You tend to forget how fast our cars are until you blow by the Gt2, GT3, miatas, etc.

I saw enough of Reese's driving this weekend. Don't think I want to see any more.

Was that a yellow at the start finish or are my eye deceiving me?

it probably was a yellow at the start/finish line, NASA puts the race start further down the pit wall.

About 10 less than what he needed to win this race

Seriously, Stephen I noticed you guys were running Hoosier R100's. Can you give us your impressions of them compared to the R6 and A6?

Wow nice run... starting in the back can be a cluster... liked the easy threading coming to turn one then a lift to give a scoch of room for the usual turn one cluster fugs..

Looks like Reese was running 129-130's which is fast as hell for that track layout!

Yes, all stations hold a standing yellow, and someone waves the GREEN half-way down the front straight.

5.89 x E23 = (a really big number)

According to Reese they are faster. We change to A6 when it rains.

Actually 130.481

Fastest lap of the race was turned by the winning #9 car, at 130.273
