No speed Chanel but been on Grand-Am all morning. Glad to see the #40 doing well. Just not enough time unless the #67 breaks. I just hope Lally does'n start trying to push people out of his way like usual.

Avoiding a spinning car, and would have gotten by fine, except one of the camero's coming around the outside didn't give enough room, pinned it down and slammed into the right front wheel/suspension as the same time the left front clipped the rear of the spinning car.
They went down 100+ laps repairing it, got it back out, but apparently it wasn't fixed good enough or something unrepairable, and they had to retire it.
Sigh. My favorite car.
For some relatively obvious reasons

The 36 was retired with alot of front end damage as well, I never saw footage of the collision, so can't assign fault.
Not sure why the 43 is retired, but I think it was damage related.
69 mentioned above, was wrecked.
Not sure if the 30 is still in it, or retired. I know they had a spin earlier, and some additional issues, but I don't recall any of them being mechanical.
Shredded tires caused problems for quite a few cars on a regular basis, lots of body parts laying around the track.

I got a chance to see all the speedsource cars up close and personal at Sevenstock and the #69 at the LA Auto Show. Awesome, cant wait for Grand-Am to return this July at Laguna Seca.

Yeah, same. Saw them first last May at Lime Rock, then again at SS, and will at Lime Rock again this year. Want to get to at least 1 more race other than that though, either NJ, VIR, Mid Ohio, or Watkins Glen. More than 1 other would be nice too

Cool, you guys got a lot of races to choose from over on the right coast. envy. Salt Lake and Monterey for us. Who knows maybe the Dinar will come in and I can go to all of them. Lol.
