Sticking with another eastern United States track, that like Road Atlanta, winds its way through many hills, the B2O BSS series travels to Lexington, Ohio for the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The 3.8km-long circuit opened first in 1962 and went through two or three major renovations which led to it's current iteration, resulting in a safer and faster track overall. The track has a number of signature sections among its 15 turns.

Undeniably, passing is very difficult but not impossible here. The key, coincidentally, is most often found at the keyhole, where a tight 180-degree right turn leads onto what is by far the longest straight and into the best passing braking zone. High wing angles will be important as downforce will play a huge role on keeping the car on the track, especially over the hills following the long straight. This will help you get the power down earlier. Faster cars will also show off their ability to trail brake, as this is a great place to shine with it.

Open Qualify Session starts at 7:30 PM EST spanning 1 hour. Participants are required to put down a reasonable time (within 3 seconds of the leader) to qualify for the Q-race. If any less than 3 laps are put down, or the driver is not within 3 seconds of the leader, he/she will be put at the back of the grid.

Qualify Race
starts at 8:30 PM EST spanning 40 minutes of practice and finishing off with a 20 minute, inverse grid, Qualify Race, gridded per the open qualify session prior.

Main Race starts at approx 9:45 PM EST with 10 minutes warmup and a 50 minute Race.

Grid positions carry over from Qualify Race Results.

A mandatory Pit Stop is required within a narrow 5 minute Pit Window at the 25 - 30 minute mark to take on tires only.

I'll be around tonight too. I got a lot of work done the past 2 weeks and am now even slightly ahead of schedule (offsite).

...around here I'm still several months behind.

The good news is that I've learned a lot about the new theme engine for Wordpress so hopefully I can knock off that theme much quicker than anticipated earlier.
