[19dodge]

provisionally, i correctly predicted 3 of the 4 polesitters. why am i saying this? because it is going to most likely rain tomorrow, so this could be the final grid...

[19dodge]

update:

after qualifying, SaleenS7R takes the early lead in the standings for the race. He correctly predicted 3 of the class polesitters. 19dodge and gert correctly predicted 2 of the polesitters, and a bunch of others correctly picked one of the four polesitters.

next stop: the race! expect results + standings to be released the Tuesday after the race.

[tblincoe]

oh man, i forgot to post fastest lap and pole time for GT!!! ugghhhhh

[19dodge]

GREAT RACE.. i personally didnt like the finish, and a lot of the incidents. (I hate Bourdais!! i couldnt believe it!! he dindnt even say Sorry to Shorty!, and now their car is written off!!)

but there was drama all the way through the race, and that was exciting. i was on the edge of my seat for about 20 of the 24hrs..

RESULTS:

1. gert 0 324 324
