The track was dry but very green for quals due to all the rain. At least the weather was much better than it was for the test day on Thursday, when violent th~nderstorms damaged several tents at the facility. "I'm glad there were no serious injuries to the Grand Am contingent yesterday during the storm," Brix noted for everyone on the team. "The repaving of the track has eliminated one big variable: the concrete patches," he pointed out. "We didn't qualify as well as we hoped, but hopefully things will go better in the race tomorrow," he concluded. There is a practice session at 1O:iO a.m. and an autograph session at noon tomorrow before the race starts at 530 p.m. The distance is 250 rniles/l11 laps or two hours and 45 minutes.
