Cobb Tuning Skyline GT-R35 edged out the Focus Auto Sales R34 when the R34 had braking issues and went off track coming off the bank into the infield on lap one. Even though Billy Johnson put in a faster lap time in the chase position, he could not make up the difference in the combined time.
We knew that the battle between the GST Motorsports and C-West/BC/Hankook was going to be epic when both drivers Gary Sheehan and Tyler McQuarrie decided to throw out the rulebook and run this battle with no gap from the start. It was an all out drag race at the line and the GST Impreza hp and grip advantage kept the team in front for the entire battle despite the efforts that Tyler put in. The C-West/BC/Hankook S2000 was super fast in the corners and got within a few feet of the GST Impreza but the long straights in the course was just too much of a disadvantage for the team.
