There's a pretty full raceway this morning, with some new faces of racers who weren't here yesterday. Racers are already about two deep at the King's drivers panel as everyone tries to get in some practice before the start of the GTC-FK race.

The line is lengthening at the tech table, which as usual is being run by Noose, the "Hardest-working guy in Retro™".

More to come as it occurs...

Qualifying for GTC-FK is underway...

As some may have noticed, I'm not posting detailed qualifying info for the races at Sano VI, basically because the times are not being collected in a form I can reference to post from. Of course, the qualifying order can be inferred from the Main seedings.

Requesting some feedback from anyone watching the video feed as to whether the sound level is where it needs to be.

Can you hear and understand what the race director is saying?

Tell Eric Balicki that his Derek Bell-signed Porsche that he won to help out Dave Fiedler was shipped yesterday. That will make him go faster. :)

Rick, the way Swiss does qualifying there's no list for me to refer to, but going through the entry forms, the other two are Thorne and Ursaner.
