GIMPLE AND EVERSLEY NOW SECOND IN CTSCC CHAMPIONSHIP RUN

Questionable call by officials caps off a forgettable weekend for C360R in the deep south

(Birmingham, Alabama) -- Compass360 Racing's #75 Honda Civic Si headed into the third round of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with a five-point lead in the Driver and Team's championship.

By the end of the weekend, they'd dropped to second place, 12 points out of first, after being thrown curve balls by a combination of heavy weather during the test and practice days, and new interpretations of long-standing rules from the tower. And of the three C360R cars in attendance, they fared best of all.
