Good luck Randy, the way you guys ran at Daytona, I'm really looking forward to this one!!!!

 

40+ inches of snow here in the last week.

Ready for Florida!

 

I am pleased to announce the following two drivers for the 3rd car.

Craig Conway and BJ Zacharias

Craig is a long time Grand Am racer who brings years of experience to the seat of the 198. This will be Craig's first drive in the Mini but he has extensive experience in the Rolex and Continental series. Craig was a former car owner in the Rolex GT class. Craig is from Edgewater, Florida.

BJ Zacharias returns to RSR as Craig's co-driver. BJ is also a long Grand Am veteran. BJ drove with us a number of times in '08 and 09. BJ is from Cincinnati, Ohio.

The entries are all in and there are 30 cars in the ST class, 65 total. It promises to be an exciting event.

What time is practice / qualifying ?

Have the IC turned up yet?

 

Practice and Q on Friday. Race on Saturday.

 

I presume you dont know the times Randy, I was disappointed that the Grand Am site hasn't posted the times yet.

Has the WTA arrived yet?

 

I enjoyed watching you at Daytona. Although I'm not able to get down to Homestead for this race, I'm covering it on my website and will follow the results.

Here's to a podium finish!

Thanks ntmid8r

 

We are here in sunny South Florida. Ready to go!

 

Good luck!

 

We'll be watching

 

Looks like VJ in the RMW powered Mini was #1 in the 2nd morning Practice!

 

P1 197 with VJ in the seat.
P3 198 (first outing this year) with BJ
p17 196 with Owen

The VJ, BJ thing is getting confusing . . . especially on the radios

This was the 1st outing for the 196. It has a replaced motor after Daytona and we are chasing a few items . . . like no ABS. It's getting up to speed and should run faster in the race.

Qualifying this afternoon at 5pm

Randy

 

Go get 'em!

 

Good Luck guy's.

Let's get a Podium tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good luck in qualifying, is there a feed from anywhere on this? podcast? Guys you can do it.

Don

I'm really confused ( which doesn't take a lot of doing )

But it seemed like that none of the GT cars got out for 3 or 4 laps then next minute I look Sarah has bagged No 1 spot with a 1.31.810 but only stayed out for 4 laps

It also looks like Randy qualified 27th and Craig 29th



Looks like I was right http://www.grand-am.com/schedule/ses...d=1501&sid=854

CONGRATULATIONS TO SARAH ON BAGGING THE NO1 SPOT

Same place tomorrow after 2.5 hrs please

 

Yep Sarah put the #197 RSR Mini on the POLE!!!!!

Which I think she qualified under the track record for ST at Homestead!
