[tevake]

They just started them up for the start!
Showing high lights of last year, Mc Nish belongs in Nascar with his inclination to bash cars that are along side him! Seen it too many times.

I'm stoked for this race

Not even a full lap completed and off to the adds, lots of adds.
Guess I'll have to record it and watch later.

[trekkor]

I'm enjoying the coverage.

I don't mind the commercials. Gives me time to stay caught up here...

I'm surprised they haven't black flagged the #3 DP car for the oil leak.

I've been behind smoky cars and it's not good on the windshield.

[trekkor]

Funny that the DP cars almost all run the same chassis/ Body. Like most other American racing, all spec racing. What ever happened to American ingenuity and design strength.

The R8s look good!

Lest you forget who runs the series.

[tevake]

^^ you are right what was I thinking.

Amazing amount of attrition among the front runners of both DP and GT classes.
Boy, the whole team is crucial.

Did ya notice that Mazda is running a four door diesel.

Yeah in the GTX group. Nice looking car. I think there is still a RX8 in GT.

[Buckterrier]

Speed just interviewed Wayne Taylor. He stated AFTER qualifying officials, read NASCAR, put a restrictor on the Corvettes. They are down on power to the tune of 1 second a lap. To his point he is 43 seconds behind the leader with like 45 laps in the book, amounts to 6 laps for the race. Friggin' nascar. They just can't leave well enough alone.

May try again later as the 911 is still loaded and fueled.

Bro Ya got to go easy on those first couple of tokes in the morning, maybe forgo the wakenbake all together:-)

Hope you can make it later.

Cheers Richard
