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

    I hope for no rain, but if it does, watch Ron Fellows go for 2, because he has the experience most of these guys don't have, includingBoris.
    I don't think Ron or Boris is going to matter... not with Ambrose racing!

    Jaques Villinue just made some great moves...

    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.

    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.

    Same drivers as always, except for some what used to be ringers, but no more. Geez, a driver like carl winning against all those road racers.

    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.

    I didn't think there was really dirty driving as much as unrealistic expectations as to how many cars can fit through a turn in wet conditions.
