More cars showed up GTS3 had 15 register! Poor qualifying for me and Darren. They placed all race groups on the track together and the speed disparity was tough for everyone.
Started to rain just a little during the pace lap.
Started 4th in the race, but made a big move at the start up to 2nd. Dan Yonkers slotted into 4th and was driving really well. I gapped 3rd, but he was still lurking maybe 3 secs back. I measured each lap trying not to overdrive the car on a wet track. The two lead GTS4 cars took each other out in T1 which brought out a full course yellow. The rest of the race was under yellow. Dan ended up in 3rd when the M3 behind me was DQ'd for weight. Darren stole 1st in GTS4 after the two front cars went off. (Darren first real time driving the car at speed!!). Good results for Saturday under very dicey conditions.
