Man that hour went fast! I qualified P17 and ended up P15. I did no pit stops. Had some great and long lasting battles with Santiago, Dan B and others. Good job everybody on lap 1 T1. Though I think there might have been a little bit of jostling it seemed pretty good as I went through. I got bumped and spun at T1 of lap 2 when Emory and Tobias tangled in an overtake move. Put me in P last. But I fought back up to mid pack with some hard racing with Mariani and Lipscomb. Got lapped on about lap 22. Then a brief defense against a faster Dan Bayford before he got me. From there on it was all about me and Santiago.
He was on my rear at about lap 25. I held him off with for several laps using defensive lines, which made him desperate. After a couple of love taps I let him by on lap 30. But then he went off on lap 31 and gave P14 back to me! Well then it was no more Mr. Niceguy. I raced as hard as I could, again taking defensive lines but made a mistake of my own on about lap 35 and gave P14 back to him. And though he didn't open a big gap I could never mount a challenge and settled for P15 at the checkers.
