For those not watching, #70 just had right rear explode, body work damage increasing. Limping back to pits.

From #5th in class.

Full course yellow just flying though.

Not as bad as a flat 6 blowin... still lotsa time to repair the body, the Porsches will eventually burn up. The M3 will burn too.

So the 8's have been handicapped (not following the news), that is CRAP, ANY weight is a heavy penalty for winning last year...it is BS

Sigh. Circumstance is a bitch.




Come on Speedsource, you can get that repaired and get her back into this!
