GT 1 and I32.
The first day of the 2002 Winter Classic is
over. The GT 1 racing was very close in both the A and B Mains,
with Charlie taking the win in the B Main over Paul Abbey and John
Emmons, who were all seperated by less than a lap. In the A main
e Greg Gilbert cruised to a win over a fierce battle between Mike
Lewis and Jonathan Forsyth. The I32 race really was no contest,
with Chris Radisich taking an easy win over John Emmons, Phil Phillips
and Chris Bowman.
