Patrick posted the fastest lap in yesterday's race finishing in 4th place. Consequently he has the pole today for the final IMSA GT3 Challenge. Patrick has 3rd place locked up for the year, the top 2 drivers are only 4 points apart going into today's final race at Laguna. Live timing and scoring is available below to "watch" the race which is a 1 hr. 15 min enduro....

what was that link to? It looked like IMSA lites (prototype looking mini racers) , not the GT3 porsche challenge race.

WOW, GT3s are in the 1:28-9s!! POC guys Faieta, Chang, derek clark, all running really strong! I think Bob won, and Derek was in the 1:31s!!!!

I dont see the name patrick anywhere.

IMSA lite, the original link, is for the little mini versions of ALMS prototype looking racers

It's 2008, Mark

Now that's funny.

Mark, the race starts at 1:30 west coast time. The live timing and scoring will start then.

The link updates reflecting which race group is on the track. It will show the Cup car race at 1:15 Pacific Time, that's 4:15 Eastern for those of you in Rio Linda.....

So, i see Patrick on pole for his time yesterday in the race. Cool!
Now, lets see if he can beat Bob. Wayland is going to be coming up strong too!

That was yesterday's race. There is another today.

There was a race yesterday that was almost completely run under full course yellow. I think there were maybe 5-6 hot laps. Bobby won class, Dino second setting up today's final race. Bobby has to be 1 position behind Dino or better to win the championship...

It's interesting that their Timing & Scoring still are showing the IMSA lite results from this morning. Their was a MX5 race which just ended that they apparently didn't show. Hopefully at 1:30 they will have the cup car event...

Why is it dark at Leguna Seca right now? Was the big race last night? It's sunny as hell here in Fl, so I'm guessing the race was last night?

Patrick goes wire 2 wire to win his first IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge radce at Laguna today. Bobby Faieta was second clinching the Championship and Galen Bieker third, Dino Steiner 4th....

Great race for Pat Kelly. Pat's had a bunch of podiums but I think this is his first win. Congrats to Faieta on the championship.

Great Job Patrick! (and Bob!)
