Yup...I saw it...was crazy. It looked like he got a little aggressive on cold tires during his warmup lap and just lost it and went airborne...Here he is just prior to liftoff

^^^^ Times:

From what I understand, SLB doesn't post the results right away. In years past, they've always waited until they're able to print their stories about the event.

I was there today, and I am extremely proud of what SSE has done! Billy Johnson at FXMD was less than a second back.. and GST was on pace to run a mid 1:41 as well in the final session before the engine lost 13PSI of boost. American time attack teams have stepped it up, as I predicted they would. It was simply a matter of time. In 5 short years, we have some of the fastest TA cars in the World! And we've only just got started!!!! :-)

I could not believe he went for it like that on cold tires. In the pits he had tire warmers on all day... Maybe someone should let him know they don't bring your tires to race temp lol. That guy had 3 offs on one lap in practice.
