Wow, that sucks. The last 7 were the best period. I know last race I praised Speed for showing equal coverage of the DP and GT cars, but man was it worse this time. Ok, I love racing but I just can't really get into DP cars. It's like me watching Nascar. So I ended up fast forwarding through 98% of the race. At the 3hr mark I very much enjoyed the on board RX8 camera. And I love when it came down to the wire they showed the GT 1/2, 3/4 battles. And was it nice!!!

Renesis, if there aren't clips on youtube by Tuesday night, Speed has it on their schedule to re-air at 12pm est this Wed.

lovely, thanks for the headsup tirminyl. i m gonna record it again =)

it seems the folks at speed loved the scream of the rotary too. They just dont get bored of mentioning the same thing again and again =), even i was like "what? again?!", haha i m joking of course!

the rx-8 + speedsource is quickly gaining popularity i can imagine, the guys on GA msg boards are becoming aware of the little engine that does it. Mr. Tremblay is also one hack of a driver (and Mr. Ham too!), i got onto the racing scene pretty late (now i am an addict), i thought all the good drivers drive only the DP cars, but man am i wrong!

The #69 is suppsedly more "advanced" than the #70 car (ie lighter).

hey i fast forwarded 90+% of the race too! man was it boring to watch the DP cars with so many LONG CAUTIONS. everytime they restart, i know there is no chance(zero probability) of speed switching the cameras to GT. Well, the last placed M3 was always on screen lol. the interview on pat long was interesting, "maybe colin braun is really showing hes a 18yr old" lol

well if you guys want to watch only the GT cars your going to be pretty happy VIR will be a separate race with the GT race on saturday at 8:30 on speed, tape delay.

Guys, watch the DP race without any pre concep, it was a pretty intresting race in DP too, Bill Aberlen is one hell of a race car driver, in fact the car he pass for the victory was the car that took him out in Mexico, he was the winwer here the last GRAN AM GS class race in my country in 2005.

I think GRAN AM is by far the best racing in the US right now

Now get ready for ST. PETE next weekeng, ALMS

yes, this was the main reason... the 69 got caught out on pit strategy then had some other minor problems that I'm waiting to hear from the team.
