1-2 at the end of the first day. A very nice start.
Except for the red flag with MORE flying prototypes [Question - do the drivers earn frequent flyer points every time they take off?], the worksheets got worked through as the Corvette team tested their setups and strategies.
If you listened to all the pre-running banter you would have thought the AM's are bullets and the C6R's slugs, but dipping into the 3:49's on Day 1 suggests otherwise for the Yellow Scrapes.
It's true that pit lane thinking suggests a final AM run for top o' the grid sheet got spoiled at the end, but 'the game is ON', based on today's action.
We're ready and behind our badboys. I'm stocking up for a marathon in front of SpeedTV. Hopefully Jim Bell will still let me in his shop when he gets back to Miami.
