Andy,

Agreed; can't wait for this one! I hope Pocono will be almost (well, I won't be there :P) as good.

Dang, SM is all over ITA. Is that on Toyo's or Hoosiers?

Nick was running the Toyos. But I'm not suprised at the spead... it is Nick and he is one of the best with a great Flatout car!!

I don't have the results but I think Julie M. had third in ITB with Berens old car with a 120.6ish (His 4 door golf)

I had a pretty bad qualifying session but I had 2 laps in the 120.4 range and that was good enough to get first. I think tomorrow will be great with the top 4 ITB cars within a second and I would suspect that Greg will get that Suzuki flying. (I didn't get a chance to talk to him today, I know he came in early in the STU qualifying. I am sure he will be fast by tomorrow!)

Here is a link to a video from today’s qualifying session from a hood mounted VHOLDR camera (Not the new CountorHD) The first session I was breaking in some new Hoosiers (and had the 2 good laps) The second part of the session was with heat cycled Hoosiers that I planned on pushing a bit harder! Notice that I said planned… I promptly ran out of gas and came in after just a few laps. The driving IMHO was terrible as I worked out the winter gremlins and got scared because my Dad was on track watching me! Weird feeling with him following me then blowing past me!

Thanks for posting - it's killing me that my car isn't done and I've yet to hit the track!!!!

And....Buehler...?

Unfortunately, the 1.3L of awesome fury sheared the flywheel bolts of the Suzuki in lap 3 of the Pro-IT qualifying. I didn't 'come in early' in qualifying, I had to park it at the top of T6 and watch all you rat bastards flying by for a half-hour before I got a flat-tow back...

The field was strong and interesting. I'm sure it was a HELL of a good event!

Details! Details!
