Geez, you guys are quick!

Due to some T&S glitches with the new system being used this year, provisional and official results could take a while to post.

This is flying considering that the lap record for E Production is 1:37 flat done by Grayson Upchurch, Jr. in a very fast car. I can remember when 1:39 was fast with the layout of the old Road Atlanta that included the infamous "dip".

ITA Provisional from memory:

1) Colin Botha 1:42.4
2) Alex Muresan 1:42.5
3) Moser 1:42.7 - don't remember which one. sorry
4) Greg Amy1:42.7
5) Michael Greene (Me ) 1:43.5

Once again this is from memory. I just glanced at the results after the second qualifying before I left the track, but is was the combined results from the first and second session. I could be off somewhere so don't hold my feet to the fire, but the times are pretty accurate for the first five qualifiers.

The car had teething problems during both of the sprint race qualifying sessions, but managed to put down a good time for the Pro-IT, and then go on to win it. After that, the problem seemed to be solved. Car ran great for the sprint race; just couldn't overcome the combined B/C grouping and starting 21st overall.

Top 5 in ITC are under the track record. Reynolds went 1:49.421 and Rebstock went 1:49.606. Old record was 1:51.063 from last year!!!

Last I saw Greg he was grinning ear-to-ear.

Everyone seems to be faster than last year, so there is lots of grinning going on.

Come on Guys, if Turn 10 is reconfigued and it is faster than last year, being under Anthony's track record is to be expected. All three of those guys are fast (although I don't think Botha has any staying power) but give Anthony his due...

[Joe Harlan]

Hey for those of us not from the east coast any chance we could get car types with time results?

Thanks
Joe

[Speed Raycer]

Guys, you're forgetting that this is the IT.com board. The leaders are all under track records in qualifying.... therefore they are all cheating!!!!

Good job everyone!!!

I thought I heard that Stretch was going to run in ITA???

[GKR_17]

Don't forget that turn 10 was reconfigured this year, and is faster than last before.
