    Qualifying should be starting in less than ten minutes. Hoping for MS to take pole. Wx report is for fine and dry conditions.

    This is going to be good!!

    Not trying to be critical of Scott Speed, but when he says things like "yeah two high speed turns, r130 and turn 8 I think" I think? what the hell, I think he should have all the turns memorized!

    Track temp currently at 95F

    Whopee ! ! Michael is sitting in Numero Uno - perhaps it's the glass of Limoncello (Italy) I just poured for myself! - oop's Massa into that slot.

    Yamamoto shows stop - but the session continues. Need to go watch the tv to see what he did. Boy the times are really changing on the live timing screen - looks kin to a slot machine.

    Looks like Speed, ,DC, Doornbos, Sato, Montiero and of course Yamamoto are the first round outs.

    Thanks Tony - will do just that. Yes, Speed TV is at least 5 minutes delay from live timing. John's in the other room watching it on the tv. I have one computer on live timing and I'm wireless internet on FChat.

    You going to the ALMS race at Laguna Seca in a couple weeks?

    That's too bad for Speed, I always pull for him to at least out pace VL. I respect his effort.

    That was kinda bizarre watching Yamamoto's troubles on tv. It just seemed that all of a sudden he wasn't following the track . . .

    Now we're getting somewhat serious with Q2. Wonder who will drop out??
