That was one of the coolest QF sessions I've ever seen.

Way too many caution laps. This stinks.

Comic relief.
Spin six times and still restart? Some guys have no idea what they're doing on wets.
Just throw the checker and go home before the series becomes the laughing stock of all racing.God bless the whole World.

Good to see Edwards get it on the last corner. The number of yellows in the wet though makes me wonder how useful these rain tires are. Yes they were able to finish the race, which I suppose is better than red-flagging or stopping it, but maybe there needs to be a training program for the drivers to practice in wet conditions. Some of the moves out there were idiotic just a total lack of situational awareness or just a complete lack of respect for other drivers.

The rain tires worked just fine. Qualifying proved that. The only problem with that race was dirty drivers with more greed than common sense.

I left the race with about 20 laps to go when the rain started. I never thought they would finish the race.
We had great seats, last row of our section but OMG was it ever windy.
Watching the race at times was frustating with all the caution laps.
I was highly impressed with Andrew Ranger.
