Speedcast shows next race starting Saturday at 10:45. Does this mean they are not showing the qual races?

Is there a way around the security error?

One minute on grid

Crap. For the speedcast, I read the days as hours and the hours as minutes. So it wasn't an hour and 23 minutes, but a day and 23 hours.

No luck with the Race Monitor still. Only thing I see is a Log In on race-monitor.com. Somehow I don't think that will help.

I gave up on it and I am using the ihone app. They have hit the track.

Dan started in 5th and finished in 6th after getting passed on the back straight on the last lap. The track started wet and still very slippery under a really light sprinkling but dried at an amazing rate under race condtions. Dan's last lap was more than 10 seconds faster than we have timed him yet this week so he's still a bit lost out there. He's hoping to improve when he learns the track better under the dry. Maybe it will be dry, anyway. We made it through tech and the scales without issue. The car is all preped and ready to go for tomorrow.

We did get a chance to see a bit of the Group B race. The battle at the front of the Spec Mustang class (formerly AI) was spectacular on a mostly dry track. I'm looking forward to seeing another good race from them tomorrow. Unfortunately, we'll be on the road home and will miss the big show on Sunday.

The drama in AI has begun as about half the field failed to arrive at grid until too late. Some were late enough to miss the green, some were able to get out while the warmup was in progress.
