James Clay Quotations

Seth and I were having good runs in the early going. Unlike Paul, we came through the first lap melee in pretty good shape. I think we ran three or four laps under caution, but then once the race went green, we were able to pick up some track positions.

I was still haunted by my last minute adjustment before qualifying. I am still trying to get the brakes all dialed in. I still couldn't come into the braking zones with authority until half way through the race. I caught back up and it was just a matter of 10 to 20 feet every braking zone because the Performance Friction Brakes were working well once it was dialed in.

It is amazing that every year we run less yellow laps. To run this race under full green is great for the series but it is tough not to have a yellow when you are trying to make up ground!

It was a light ding into the wall and it broke the suspension arm and that was pretty much it so we will have it together and Paul will be ready to go.

After the last practice session yesterday we made the fatal error of adjusting something on the car and I didn't get my brake bias back to where it needed to be. I spun on the first lap and almost spun on the second lap so I spent the qualifying session adjusting my brake bias.

I'm really happy with the setup. The car is handling extremely well, it is braking well and it is doing everything it should so it should be good for qualifying tomorrow.
