Pretty sure they ran a race setup today with all the downforce back on after trimming out for yesterday. You dont get famous in qualifying......

The leaders are going to look like they're going 241 when they repeatedly lap the Lotus cars which will barely be going 200.

I really hope they get Bryan's ride sorted out and up to at least the speeds he was running pre-wreck.

It was saddening to see Sarah's reaction immediately after Brian hit the wall.

I wouldn't take the drop in speed as a worry. There was no need to push anything given there would be no bumping. Also, the team had to really play it safe with equipment. I'm sure the car had much more if it was needed. I don't blame them for tightening the car down (put all the down force you can dial into it) and just running the 4 laps. Running over 220 wasn't going to do much given what happened. Servia and Carpenter don't crash, but did, happens. They are vets so their teams weren't as conservative. SFHR is smart, just get it in.

BC will have no issues with race pace at all. On the other hand, his neighbors in the last row will be asked to park not too far into the event. Those engines just don't have any power. Have felt sorry for them all month. It's not like they are two bums off the street they stuck in a car. The car only goes as fast it can, can't push the peddle through the floor.

At least he can say he got to go to The Last Row Party once in his career.

Congratulations Bryan and the entire SFHR team. The crowd in the Northwest Vista on Saturday was screaming and cheering on every lap of his qualification attempt. The loud groan you heard was on his last lap when it swapped ends and tagged the wall.

Glad to see he wasn't injured and also happy to see the crew able to put it back together for another qualifying attempt on Sunday. Bob, Monica, Tim and the rest of the family have every right to be proud of that young man. All of the short track fans have been begging for this type of opportunity. I am proud to say that one of ours is in the big show. My hope is that this will provide other qualified short track stars the opporunity to join in down the road. Give her hell Bryan.:6:
