Fans at IMS get their first look at IMSA qualifying today. The five classes split into three groups-the two GTD classes, LMP2 and LMP 3, and GTP. The first two groups have 15 minutes each, and the GTP has 20 minutes. That is it. No knockout qualifying, just the fastest time .

I plan to explore the IMS merchandise shop today. I had just a brief look yesterday. IMSA also has a merchandise tent in the infield. I am having technical difficulties posting photos to my blog. I may just have to a separate post with just photos.

The day ends with a four hour Michelin Pilot Challenge race. The series qualifies this morning, each class getting 15 minutes on track. The Michelin Pilot Challenge also runs a four hour race at Daytona the day before the Rolex 24 hours.

I’ll be back after qualifying.

Here are a couple photos from yesterday.
