Pontiac qualified poorly in both classes...ouch.

ajcjr

i always went to the racesite.com to view results and pictures, is this site now a paysite to get information

thanks for the update any pictures???

stuttgart46

Way to go Cory. 3rd in GT is a great accomplishment.
Porsche on the pole. It's been a while but well worth the wait.

A.Wayne

Where did you get the results from ?

ew928

Thanks for the update.
I would never have tuned to Fox at 3pm tomorrow otherwise.


Gentleman, start your DVR's.

ajcjr

i told my wife not to bother me tomorrow after 3pm i will be a couch potato!!

ZAPmobile

Off the Grand-Am site, either under results or live timing and scoring. Also go the The Racer Group site for live video from their pits.

MTosi

Yup.

Click on the session you want.

MLIN

I think it's Mazda on the pole.

mglobe

There's only one F430?

Streak

What happened to the 23 Ruby Tuesday DP car?

AJR lists Long as a driver but so does TRG?

Tell me AJR is still in it!

Phenomenal finish to the Koni race today, both classes. (Yes, I'll leave the results a mystery so that whenever it's shown in 2010 no one will be disappointed............)

My two sorta-friends from the Bay Area had disappointments. One didn't even make the grid, and the other a co-driver with Pobst saw his podium disappear with a balky fuel pump at the end. I heard 1:11 of the 3 hour race was under green.

I've taken about 600 pictures so far, of which 20% will likely be any good. I'll post them somewhere in a few days. If anyone has a special request of a car/location, let me know and I'll do my best to get one tomorrow.

I was in the GS winners' pit for the exciting finish. Great tactics!
