Misc:
Throughout the practice sessions, qualifying, and tandem eliminations, the track experienced both wet and dry conditions.
3 transmission swaps occurred over the course of the event (Joseph Glodich, Greg Blair, and Sam).
A 4th transmission lost 3rd gear right before the tandem eliminations with no time to swap, so the driver used 4th gear through most of the course (Matt Martin).
