It was that kind of race: the pace car ran out of gas and the race was red flagged ten minutes from the end for rain. Chris Dyson and Guy Smith navigated the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge and brought their #16 G-OIL Modspace/Construct Corps Lola Mazda home in second place, maintaining their ALMS championship points lead. #20 Humaid Al Masaood and Steven Kane were running third when an incident fifty-five minutes into the event ended their race early.

Guy Smith started the #16 Lola Mazda and led the first fifty minutes. It was a close battle with an interval that ranged from two to five seconds depending upon traffic. The #6 Aston Martin took the lead when the track went green after the first yellow. "It was hard fought. I was be able to open up a gap and than he would close it as we hit traffic. The tires got a lot of pick-up during the first yellow and the #6 car was able to slip by on the restart," said Smith. Dyson got in the second place #16 car fifty-five minutes from the end of the race. Michael White, team manager, told Dyson on the radio, "he is up ahead, it is up to you." Dyson replied, "I am going to get him." A couple minutes latter, the first reports of rain on the track started coming in. Dyson did not have a chance to take the battle to the #6 car. The track went yellow from laps 84 to lap 89, 91 to 92, and 95 to 96 for cars spinning off the track in the heavy rain. The rain got worse, and the red flag was thrown ten minutes from the end.

"We qualified well yesterday," remarked Kane. "When I got in the car, the car felt great. I am not sure what happened. We will have to look at the data and see why the car ended up hitting the wall."

The sixth race of the ALMS season will be held at Wisconsin's iconic Road America. The four-hour enduro will be run on Saturday, August 20th.
