I was remiss in not mentioning that Seth Davidow finished 12th after starting 21st in Race 1 and 6th after starting 21st in Race 2, receiving the Hard Charger Award for his performance. Nice run Seth!
The crew from Topp Racing and MSR Cresson aquited themselves well.

Thanks very much! Had great races and could not have done it without ToppRacing. Dick Dobson was on the car and made sure I passed tech with flying colors, miss you Dick....
Scott Tucker is tough, interesting to note that he ran a 07 997 which are allowed to run a bit lighter than the 08-09 cars. They seemed very even as a result. Levitas ran well all week as did Cisneros. Rennlister Peter Collins had an amazing drive and would have podiumed for sure if not for mechanical in race 1 and incident avoidance in race 2.
Special shout out to Isringhausen a Rennlist sponsor who is on the car. Thanks Geoffrey!
The racing was extremely close and very clean. Porsche motorsport,Imsa, Yokohama and starrett all combined to really make you feel included and appreciated. Schedules are literally down to the minute. Tech is extremely tight. Field is huge! Quite an experience, a lot to be learned at this level. While qualifying is very important, being consistent, tire management and minimizing mistakes is just as big. Definitely a big step up on focus and concentration it seems. Race craft is at a whole new level,amazing to see some of the moves throughout the races. Peter pulled off some HUGE NInja stuff!!
Nice to be back in a stock car, got a bit lazy driving the hotrod gta2 the last couple of years. Still have a bunch of work to do to get the platform figured out but this is a great series for sure!
I sincerely appreciate everyones encouragement and well wishes and will catch up with my messages and emails soon. If you want to know anything about the race or cars or other competitors just let me know and I will try to give details.
Thanks again to Dick Dobson, You were a Blessing to all of us!

Earlier in the season the IMSA website had a TV schedule for the Patron GT3 Challenge races - typically around 12am-1am a few days after the event - but that's disappeared so for now we're in dark as far as I know.
