Christophe Bouchut and Scott Tucker (Level 5 Motorsports) put their rivals' problems to good use, coming out of the Baltimore weekend with a 1-2 win not only in the P2 category, but also in the overall classification.
Pole-sitters Klaus Graf and Lucas Luhr (Muscle Milk Racing) were stuck in the pits for five laps, fixing a gear actuator, they finished third in class. Their rival in the P1 championship Chris Dyson and Guy Smith (Dyson Racing) experienced handling issues, so ended up second.
Eric Lux and Michael Marsal in the sister Dyson car dropped a handful of places in a lap one traffic jam, yet won the P1 category. But that happened all behind Bouchut and Tucker, who obviously dominated their own class as well.
In GT, the day belonged to Team Falken Racing, now repeat winner in Baltimore thanks to Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers. The pair played its card perfectly on every restart and made the most of the team's pit stop strategy to keep Corvette Racing's Oliver Gavin at bay.
Extreme Speed Motorsports' Scott Sharp and Johannes van Overbeek rounded out the top three in their Ferrari F458 Italia.
The PC win went to CORE autosport's Alex Popow and Ryan Dalziel, who finished third overall as well.
Al Carter and Patrick Pilet (TRG) won the GT Challenge race aboard their No. 68 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
