Group E Sunday Championship Grid

@Fabman is gridded in 36. Weather and yellow flag limiting I can see Sal as 1st in class and passing 16+ drivers - even with the split starts.

Group E Championship Race @ 4:15 PM (California time) 45 minute race.

Raining there now but might get lucky with the way the radar looks and developing. There's about an hour and 45 min before the start. Point of ref is San Jose just to the right.

I’m doing this wet or dry…..on slicks.
I didn’t come all the way here to get screwed out of it on a technicality.
Beat fair and square I can handle but this deserves an on track response. Stay tuned, this could get interesting.

rain in the groove will make it really slick, you may find soem bite near the edge os the groove where the rain can run off, a bit more psi to keep the tires hotter full soft on the springs and bars and go for it.
