Everybody hacked everybody....All you heard in the mains was John saying "Lets keep it clean guys!"
1st 2 quals were iffy...Each got better though. With nearly bald tires, I needed to be more careful on the throttle or the rear end just slid right out. Rocco told me to adjust the swaybar and I did, that was ok so for the next qual I moved the ends in even farther, and that's where I left it.
The 3rd qual was amazing for me. Waited at the line for the start, with another guy there and most others on the straight. I pulled ahead, and probably was just landing the camel hump when the guy behind me was setting up for it. I ended up getting about 1/2 a lap above everyone, and lapped a guy. Then I think I flipped in a very far place from a marshal, so I lost the gap between me and the guy in 2nd. I'm not sure if that's who passed me or if it was one of the guys that was a lap behind. I ended up with something like 11 laps, 5:05 (I think). I wish I could drive like that more....
That vspec rips!!! Where I would normally have to keep alot of momentum to get over things, I can just tap the gas again and make it! Clearing the camel hump in no problem at all, I don't have to swing wide either. I was watching, I was the only person constantly doing that.
Fun day all in all, I'm going to try to head out there next weekend too.
