Qualifying delay due to lightning. Safety car circling now to check track. (No delay if rain only.)
And we're back! 4:05. Abbreviated sessions for the rest of the afternoon.
(Crappy cellphone pictures to follow...)
Here's Brad, in the venerable #53.
And Dan Rosenthal in #52, '66 Tiger. I've seen Dan here a couple of times, and when last I spoke with him, he drives the Tiger from Cincinnati, with racing tires in the back, and camps out at the track. Old school. (Don't know if he's still doing this, though.)
I thought I saw a white Alpine on lap 1 of qualifying, but didn't see it again, and don't see another listed in the entries list. Might have been a ghost Alpine... or a late entry.

Here's a pic of Brad Babb in battle, entering the Esses at turn 4:
And Dan Rosenthal's Tiger in nearly the same place:
Not many entrants sported actual license plates. Mark of a manly racer.
These photos credit Kyle Ellis.
Dan had an unfortunate run-in with some tires due to brake fade; he is fine, and the car will be once he buffs out some fender dents. He may be looking for front and rear fender sheetmetal, plus a new stick of Tiger trim for the side. That should be available pretty cheap, right? Geoff Tedder, original owner of Brad's #53, helped out Dan with post-race logistics.

The door and left rear fender are something that can easily be fixed. The dents aren't that bad although will need to be pulled out. The front fender may
need sectioned somewhere above the front wheel. The door lines are still good and the door opens. Dan said it will be fixed and will race again this year. Brad finished in third today and was on the podium.
