So, quick Runoffs story.

I went to University of Georgia, so not far at all from Road Atlanta.

There was an insert in the school paper* promoting the Runoffs!

 

* Technically we didn’t have a school paper; instead, we had an independent paper that served the school community.

Also, no GT1 race due to low car count? That’s a bummer to hear. 

Apparently only 2 cars were left for Tuesday's qualifying.  I also heard that the Formula Atlantic race was dropped for low car count.

Love the P2 cars.............seeing as they are the new version of D-sports Racer.

I drove a Stohr some 20 years ago and what phenomenal cars.

Tough break for the RX7 in EP. Looked like his left front locked up when he got it in the grass. Not sure what happened.

STL starting now. Hong Norr Integra starting in 3rd.

One complaint I have about the live feed coverage I've watched (admittedly sporadically): there's never a real explanation of a class in terms of HP or weight. Just, using GT3 as an example, "these cars make less power than the GT2, but are lighter, as well." Are the rules for classes too complex to reduce down to either a HP/weight ratio and/or max HP, min weight, etc? Do they assume if you're watching, you already know? 

And second, why don't they display lap time for anyone? They just show delta off of P1, and occasionally discuss a fast lap time in the commentary, but never actually have anyone's lap time on screen.

I only wish they could have more camera feeds. A couple of missed bits and pretty much all of Herr's drive. What an emotional race.

He walked away from the field. Perfect setup for the conditions. He had a super smooth run.
