Sonoma CA, March 14 & 15.
The Spec E30 field of 24 drivers with veterans and several newbies to field which is great.
Qualifying - Michael Shawhan Team BTM Motorwerks was P1 with a 1:55.9 P2 Larry Fraisier 1:56.3 P3 Tim Barber 1:57.0 P4 Matt Row 1:57.4 and Brad McClure 1:57.8 for p5.
The start of the race was exciting. Larry almost jummped the start, then the flag dropped and Michael missed 2nd gear which let Larry get the lead with Tim in Second, Michael in 3rd with McClure in 4th. Michael was on fire and charging after Larry and Tim with McClure hot on Tim's bumper. Michael got by Tim and battled side by side with Larry for several laps eventually Shawhan got the lead.. McClure got a great exit of t11 and drag raced Tim up into T2 and it then it was a competition to see who would out brake each other in to t2. McClure thought he was the king of braking, but Tim pulled a miraculous braking maneuver that got his position back. A fuel leak on McClure's car causing massive oversteering on left turns allowed Matt Row get by for 4th and McClure in 5th.
