Just checked out the GTC-FK line up.

I'm sure they figured out they have Bud Bartos in there by mistake.

I'll take a wild guess for top 8.

Yeah, the Bud Bartos entry should have been Bob Appelle and was corrected. Also, "John Adams" is actually John Austin.

Here are the results from GTC-FK qualifying:

With 41 racers in GTC-FK, the race structure is four 8-man mains and one 9-man main, thus E Main through A Main.

Here are the results from the first GTC-FK race, the E Main:

Richard,

As has been the case for a few years now, Bill Fulmer is taking the car documentation photos (which is a BIG job, as I well know) and will post a link to his pic gallery a few days after the event.

Steve Koepp, as winner of GTC-FK, has the option to immediately enter the GTC-Pro class and Steve elected to do so, making the GTC-Pro B Main a nine-man round robin. Here are the results, which show Steve made a good decision!
