the grid had 40+ cars.
the fastest were 07 cup cars, there was a 03 cup, 00 GT3R, 4-5 GTL cars, and 11 911 spec toyo cup cars and then 6 BSR. we were all gridded in one race. 911 spec and BSR are gridded together, the rest are in another group 20 seconds ahead.
i qual'd at 2:06:90 over the top of T5. i had the pole for BSR. when they asked where i want to be, i said inside. well..... there were 11 spec 911 cars ahead of BSR, the 11th 911 was on the inside, so i was behind him. the #2 BSR was on outside, but he had a space ahead of him (b/c there's only 11 911 ahead of us, so outside was empty).... then i realized the last few 911 spec cars were slower than me by 4-5 seconds.... well my realization came way too late. flag dropped, #2 BSR blew by me as i got stuck in traffic. i did pass two 911 spec and eventually in traffic, i caught the bumper of #2 BSR. though we had very close lap times, he was much better a passing and weaving through traffic than i was. so he gapped me. i lost 1 spot in my class, but gained 4 spots overall. i guess no too bad.
as usual i over cooked my brakes. it was flushed right before friday, but after 200 track miles, my pedal went all the way to the floor. i figured i had 1-2 more laps to go, i just pumped it like crazy and finished the race ;-)
i have a chase cam, which i have no clue how to use. if i caught something in video, i'll post.
it was a blast. i had great fun. more to go tomorrow.
