I qualified P1 with a 1'23.801, 2.061" quicker than P2.

The Speed 6 and the Tamora move past me off the launch, and I move into P2 after the Tamora on the inside to the first hairpin. I'm still P2 as we cross T2, but I manage to pull side-by-side with the Speed 6 as we're heading into Turn J.

I push it wide to the right, and scrub it against the Armco. The long straight, however, always offers them time to catch up, and I'm only up by 0.090" at the end of Lap 1.

I've got a little more than a 1 second lead at T2 of the Final Lap, but the Speed 6 nearly closes the gap entirely by the time we finish... with less than 5 seconds separating P1 to P5.

I ended the practice session with 139 miles, and ended the race with 146.7 miles on the odometer.
