Can-Am top qualifier Troy Johnson.

The ties for eight through tenth qualifiers were resolved by giving precedence to the first racer to record the time.

There will be two move-ups from each main, so six racers will seed into each A, B, and C Main, and the D Main will be a ten-man round-robin to start the class.

It is quite interesting to look at the time spreads of the A, B, and C Main seedings.

For the A Main seeds, 1 through 6 qualifiers occupy a 0.143 sec spread.

For the B Main seeds, 7 through 12 qualifiers occupy an insane 0.014 sec spread!

For the C Main seeds, 13 through 18 qualifiers occupy a 0.162 sec spread.

The Can-Am class here at the Showdown promises to be incredibly tight racing without a doubt.

Nice turn-out.

That B spread is crazy tight.

Good luck to all, today and tomorrow.

Good close race. Congratulations to all the A main racers.

[MSwiss]

Close race.

Congrats to all.

Maybe the first premier event I've seen with a higher winning total in the B.

[DOCinCanton]

That is very close racing.

And congrats to James Merriman for his third victory in three races.

[Bill Bowers]

Why was the Can-Am race not run on the King track???

[SlowBeas]

I find it interesting that those racers who won their "seeded" race performed quite well after moving up to the next class.

 

Great racing, guys, and congrats to all. Wish I could have been there.
