Aquilante just retired from 2nd in the GT2 race after leading early & being on the leaders bumper after that.
Wonder what his mood will be at 235 PM?����

Scratch that. Scrutineering just relented & said these mirrors are OK for tomorrow’s race since they had already been thru tech twice. But they have to go to stock mirrors for the next Majors race. :biggrin:
And they closed the door to any more Phoenix protests. :tongue:
P.s. Andre...
Basically no change.
Got s VM from Kip saying no change; still starting 2nd.
And they didn’t make a pole award for T-1, not sure why as the case is supposedly settled.
No one here in the garage, Kip’s doing a bike ride so I guess Shad is deservedly taking it easy right now.......or he’s...
Yeah, don't know.........yet
I don't know what's going on yet. It may be that the SCCA writer didn't have time to check on DQ's etc and just went off the raw unadjusted times. T&S is having their own problems; for example showing STU class times at 1.02 (28 sec. faster than the fastest FA out...
Well, not exactly, but yeah, sort of...........
I'm not an SCCA official and would never play one at any time in any condition, but...........Two things: 1) Rules can be changed at almost any time by listing for comment in the SCCA official notices, and 2) you can sue (protest) anybody...
The good news is he lost his times but still was gridded 1st out. The bad news is he had to come in for some reason (I’m still in the stands) on the outlap & came back out in traffic & only managed a 41 00 so he’ll be starting 2nd. but on the front row so that’s acceptable. Quite the day...
Ambushed. !!!
Well the pole times have been taken away so Kip will have to start at the back & fight his way thru traffic to post a Q time this afternoon. :mad:
The other things that were “not right” include side scoops & back window scoop not being close enough to a “stock shape”. How’s...
Badges, badges.....you NEED the steenking badges!!!
So they’ve been protested apparently by the favored team who is a second behind Kip.
It includes not having an Acura badge on the front hood. :eek::rolleyes::mad:
OK it’s more than that but it’s the kind of trivia that gets drug off the...
Cruising with Kip
It never ceases to amaze me how slow, simple and quiet video makes going fast look. Here Kip finds some clear track for one lap and does a 1.50.67. Anyone got anything comparable?

Q2 subtract 3 sec.
Kip went out first in Q2 based on fast time yesterday in Q1. Posted a 1.39.7 on his first flying lap, parked it & watched Aquilante pound around for 6 more laps trying to improve on his 1.40 something. Guess the morning set up tweek on the scales worked. BTW they found...
