Unfortunately they had the CAM cars run first thing in the AM! I know it sounds like whining but the truth is Mary's Falkens like the cool, and my Hankooks like the heat. Any other run group would have at least given me a fighting chance/ dose of confidence. The course was fast and easy to figure out, the Valiant felt loose in the cold, particularly the first two laps. I was very happy the Valiant squeaked out 2nd place, only behind Mary by 1.3 seconds...
