National Race results from HPT.

Qualifying: I was on sticker Hoosier A's 275 version. Kopp was on very used A's, Brannon, in the GTO on Kumhos left over from Runoffs.

wheel 1:47.357
Kopp 1:50.511
Chris 1:50.697

Race: Since we have been combined with SM and some other slower classes, the AS cars were up front and checked out of Dodge on the green flag. Chris got inside me on the carousel, but I held him off. Once the Hoosier R's got up to pressure, I got clear of Jeff and Chris. They had a good battle going, with Jeff passing Chris coming onto the front straight, Chris re-passing under full throttle at the end of the straight and after side-by-side over the hump, turn zero, Jeff took the position.
Kopper has been dealing with some brake issues and he had another lock up on the next lap. Biiiiiig black streak, all the way from zero to one. He came in for a tire change and that was the race.
