Stan Smith uses a win with his teammates, Terry De Los Santos and Eddie Shorer, in the recent 3-hour enduro to move into a tie for the lead with Michael Smalley in the 2009 OTHG Ninco GT1 Championship. Terry ends up falling to third for his winning work. Chris Radisich and Bob Scott are tied for fourth, and destined to be removed in the next round by participation adjusted scoring. Eddie Shorer is sixth and Chris Chan seventh.
Three races have been run. Because race 7 is a team race, Thomas has decided it comes before race 3 on the chart. Race 7 is always a team race and race 6 is always a Drivers Championship Race, on the chart, no matter when it was run. Which is maybe good, if you've been paying attention. So, please, try to pay attention while viewing the charts and reading these reports.
