Most arrived and tech'd their car in on Thursday.

Friday had us waking up to a very wet track. It was late afternoon before it was dry and NSS was allowed it's first Time Trial, which about 75% of the cars participated in. The second Time Trial on Friday was cancelled after the third set ran — due to an oil down. Later that evening Chris Schneider sponsored a Bar-B-Q that benefited Racers For Christ.

Saturday had a quick Time Trial in the Morning, and the Class Eliminations started at noon. Below are Part 1 and Part 2 of Round One of the Class Eliminations. The slower Classes in the beginning working up to the faster classes.
