Post-race comments...

Stacey Greensall
Qualifying went well, and after one aborted run, i managed to set the time good enough for pole. I went out again with a couple of mins left to cover myself from lars and managed to set a new pole so I was pretty pleased at the end of the session.

The race was real tough and only having about 4hrs seat time gave me a unknown about the tire model. I started off fast but I would soon have to let lars by because my tires were done.
Towards the end of the run i seemed to claw him back in back in, and after a few laps chasing i got a good run into t1 and totally ran out of talent. luckily i still had pace and soon got back on lars's tail and got the pass made.
I led us to the first round of stops, and came out in 2nd place behind lars, who skipped on tires and we started our fight again.
Eventually my new tires made the advantage and i got the pass made to take a maidon win in the series. Im now looking ahead to the next round at Watkins Glen. :)

Congratulations to Stacey and Lars on their dominant 1-2 finish. Looked like they were having a great battle... until they got so far ahead of me that I couldn't see them anymore.

I flubbed the start a bit, and had Dave gaining on me into the first corner. Braked a wee bit too late, and went wide. Sorry to Lars for that; his quick and smart reactions avoided contact. Regained in 4th, behind Dave. Got by him on the next lap, and tried to do something about Stacey and Lars ahead, but they just steadily pulled away. I had nothing for them. I had a lonely race for the next long while, in the middle of an expanding gap between 2nd and 4th. My fuel figures seemed off, and I incorrectly adjusted fuel fill at the pitstop, ending the race with enough fuel to do an extra 13 laps. Changed tires, because my limited practice indicated that my tires started going "yellow" after 17 laps, which dropped me behind some guys who didn't change tires. I was surprised they could do that. I had relaxed my pace too much mid-race, feeling that I couldn't catch the top two, but was well ahead of the pack behind. Big mistake. Jo capitalized on it. Chasing Jo for 3rd in final laps, still trying to figure out how he got ahead of me. Gap was shrinking, but not fast enough to be confident I'd catch him. He goofed up the 2nd last turn with a couple of laps to go, and I got by. Thanks to all the backmarkers for the gentlemanly wave-bys.
