It was raining very hard and I did not want to use the brand new rain hoosiers for this event and I did not have my new street tires with me so Mark Pilson and I did not run on Sunday. That is why 2 of us didn't run on Sunday and we were 2 of the 4 that made it in the shoot out and as the other 2 I would say it was because of the rain and the course design that they did not run on Sunday.

Who else? I thought Robert and Brian ran?

Kristo and I GTFO'd. We made the lunch buffet at Sticky Fingers.

If Kristo made it through the morning session and wanted to stay, I would have stayed. If I would have made it through the morning session, I would have left I had a fantastic time hanging out Saturday, but the competition and weather was big time disappointing.

I was 0.050 outside of making the shoot-out on Sunday's qualifying group runs..... lifted at the finish so I could maybe not hit a curb :(. I would of straight up shat my pants driving the gt500 on Sunday, lol. Mainly because of the finish.

So not going was apparently a good decision on my part. My Dunlops have 2/32 or less tread at this point.
