After a couple practice laps (the first with a spin, the second a slow 8:39.6) and a practice pit stop, I deemed myself "ready" for 3 laps of carnage, mostly because it was already closing in on 8 pm CDT.
I wore door #2 in a full D/S room, with 19 points up for the win. I was the only Chevrolet, with 4 Porsches, 3 Toyotas, 3 Ferraris, a McLaren, a Jaguar, a newer Nissan, an older Lexus, and an older Ford Spec II, One of the Toyotas dropped out during qualifying, so my no-time sent me off in 15th and a guaranteed 8 points. Pole was 8:30.6 from one of the Porsches, and had my practice time been used for qualifying, I would have been about midpack.
The race wasn't good. I had a bit of an off on lap 1 while trying to avoid some carnage, so I came down for my stop. I eventually got onto the back bumper of 7th, while the driver who took the checkered flag first, well ahead of everybody else, didn't pit. That 7th-place driver made a mistake on the last corner, so I took advantage, and while I didn't officially take the checkered flag because of that, I was credited with a full 3 laps (the last of 7 to get that), 52.3 seconds behind the declared winner, 14 points, and surprisingly a clean race. That non-pitting driver got 3rd even after his 1-minute penalty, only 19.5 seconds off the winner.
