I am going to make this short because I am extremely tired and my back hurts. I need to sleep. Car is running AWESOME! The changes we made over the off season seem to be helping. At the end of the second practice session we were running 6th out of a 34 car field. We went out for qualifying and just couldn't quite get the speed back. We didn't do that great, but I am not super worried. It's a 3 hour race and we have plenty of time to make it up. If we can keep the brakes together and catch a yellow flag at the right time I think we have the speed for a top 10. More later. I'm going to bed. Race is tomorrow at 1:30 eastern time.

I'm the nerd who wears a beanie in sunny Florida

Event coverage here: http://www.grand-am.com/

TV to be broadcast at a later date.

Race was today. Again I'm destroyed. So this will be short and sweet. We qualified 32nd and finished 5th! We had 3rd place locked up for a little but couldn't quite keep pace. Compass passed us on the LAST green lap going into turn 1. Race finished under caution. Very stoked with our finish. Very good results. Lots of carnage. A couple of times we almost wrapped up the car in a crash. But narrowly missed us. Race ended at 3pm. We were in impound for 4 hours. Packing up the semi for 2 hours, quick dinner and I am going to sleep.

Race went:

P1. APR GTI
P2. Bimmerworld 325
P3. Kinetic KIA
P4. Compass Civic
P4. Skullcandy Civic (us)

Sorry will answer all questions when I can see straight.
