Bill, I don't know how to change the status! Nor have a figured out how to post a picture in my profile (for posts). Sometimes my brain is wired for complicated stuff...

The first day of the 2010 ARRC Presented by Grass Roots Magazine saw two sessions of qualifying. The final race grid is set with the positions as follows:

1 96 Jerry Onks 1:29.091 (C6 Corvette)
2 38 Bob Mayer 1:29.188 (C6 Corvette)
3 40 David Pintaric 1:29.824 (Viper)
4 59 Robert Finlayson 1:33.262 (C6 Corvette)
5 33 Barry Vincion 1:35.434 (C4 Corvette)
6 47 Edward Lewis 1:35.751 (C6 Corvette)

I had a tough first session that ended up with me being 3+ seconds off the fast guys pace. The is the first time at Road Atlanta since last March, so I was a bit "rusty" to say the least. That last turn sure takes some getting used to!

Bob Mayer had the pole position after the first session, but in the afternoon outing Jerry went a grabbed it from him. I picked up the pace to respectable levels and think I may be able to do well in tomorrow's race.

The grid of Vettes and my Viper is an awesome sight to see. This STO class sure is cool.
