I think we did our Q stuff in 1 st practice...and are doign race trim here (where Brad K was probably Q trim...

Since qualifying is at noon tomorrow, goign out first is probably a good thing..

So race trim = slower practice time = goes out first or near the front

Also, Brad Ks avg laptime is 20.58...we're a 20.64

Take away the fast Qual setup laps for Brad K and we probably have afaster race trim car right now than he

Qualifying is from 12-1:30 tomorrow...going out at 1:30 the track will just be hotter and slicker than it is at noon..

I wouldn;t want to be the first guy out...but somewhere in the 5-10th slot is probably ideal
