Great shots Dennis.

Congrats again to Colin and team for a well-deserved first Pro win!

I see that Steve Bamford has really got his Mygale moving too. Nice work Steve!

Wow, top 12 cars fastest laps all within 1s. What a series you've created Rand.

I heard he spun on the last lap and got tagged, but they can fix it before tomorrow.

Correct, when he spun he collected Colasacco in the carousel.

I have been watching races longer than most Apexspeeders have been alive. I have never seen a race like today's. Even in the "heyday of FF racing" i don't remember a race this competitive.
The top five cars were 'under a blanket' for the complete race. The lead changed multiple times per lap every lap.
For the most part these were teenagers, racing within inches, and they brought the five cars home in one piece.
Use any superlative you favor. Jaw dropping, awesome, unbelievable. I have never witnessed a five car race for the lead that lasted 18 laps.
Tim Kautz was back in 6th, but after inspecting his lap times, and those of others in the top ten, there is no reason to not expect it to be even more competitive tomorrow.

Default Nice job Colin

Great job Colin.

Even better that you were driving a Swift vs. a bunch of 2011 ... 2012 cars!

If I can pick the weekend results they will be Swift Saturday ... Piper Sunday.

USA. USA.

Our timing officials are thinking of dumping the current decoder and transponder system in favor of this stuff...

Congrats to you guys for an excellent, very exciting race! Was most impressive to watch those top 5 cars charge the Keyhole lap after lap (I was driving the pace car, for a change) on Saturday, 3 wide a number of times, and emerge without issue!
