...and
sets off in hot pursuit of the leading Dyson MGs |
 |
The scenery at Infineon
Raceway Sears Point is spectacular |
 |
Lehto
closes on the second Dyson MG of Andy Wallace... |
 |
...and
on the next lap pulls off the pass for second as the pair work
traffic... |
 |
...Lehto
then chases down the leading car of Butch Leitzinger... |
 |
...and
makes several attempts to pass before deciding to settle for second
place in the early going |

JJ
Lehto at Infineon Raceway Sears Point |
 |
Just
before an hour's distance, an ideally-timed full-course caution
period sees all the leaders pit simultaneously... |
 |
...Lehto
turns over to Johnny Herbert, who gets a full tank of fuel... |
 |
...and fresh Michelin
rubber all around... |
 |
...but
a stuck wheel gun at the left rear crucially delays Herbert's exit
long enough to allow Joest's Marco Werner to get out of the pits
first, taking the race lead... |
