The Freedom Autosport GTR of Whitis will not be in the event this year.
There is another GTR - Catesby Jones/Jose Collado who are also in the event.

Any more info on this GT-R?
Lets just say it is well prepped and well driven. Not over the top. Catesby is also a One Lap veteran with 2 top 3 finish's in a BMW.
Peter,
Who can't figure who to cheer on. Leh Keen in a well prepped GT2, Will. Steve and JonK. last years winners, or Catesby who drove my E46m3 to 3rd overall. Sure going to miss being there.

On the road now headed for Chicago/Elkhart Lake - as we left about 15 cars had run and we were in the lead with a new wet skid pad record.

Looks like a battle between the GT-r's Awesome skid pad #'s from Will/Steve/Jon
Adee dug himself a hole, 140 point deficit, the 1st major contender has made a mistake and probably eliminated his chances.
Popp??? 70 points back
Keen still in the hunt. 35 points out.

I haven't seen official results for the morning, but I don't think anyone went fast enough to disrupt the top five. (much)

Also, had a misfire develop in the afternoon run, we will be no higher than 5th, but we will report later when we figure out where we are.
