Tom Dyer in the No. 13 GMG Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT4 was fourth overall, third in the Pro-Am class.

Terry Borcheller was again quickest in Am in his Carrus Callas Raceteam Toyota, which was the 13th quickest overall.

The session ended early when the No. 67 Smooge Racing Toyota of Joey DaSilva stopped at Canada Corner with less than five minutes left on the clock.
