Farnbacher performed well in the second qualifying session, powering the Racers Edge Motorsports NSX GT3 to a best time of 1:49.342 and placing them near the top of the grid for Sunday’s race. But about 16 minutes into the race, Giacomo Altoè squeezed through the inside of Turn 9, forcing Farnbacher off track and onto the grass, losing three positions as he recovered. Once back on the circuit, Farnbacher and Harrison continued their strong run, finishing Sunday’s race second in the Pro/Am class.  In the RealTime Acura, Cooper and Vogel continued to improve, finishing sixth in Pro/Am on Sunday.
