Yeah Baby!

Speed guys did some nice promo for Mazda.

Emotional win for Speedsource.

Impressive to watch what it takes to succeed a race of that length.

Awesome race, i watching the entire coverage on speed. It was awesome to see speedsource win. Sucks for the Porsche team who ran out of gas and had other problems. It is a shame that the 69 car ran hard and with only 6 hours to go had an engine fire. The dempsey team also had a very respectable finish, 6th in gt class i think.

Good showing for mazda can't wait until the next race in a couple of weeks.

So who from rx8club is going to win the foosed out Rx8?

Great win, but bittersweet with Nick Ham being shown the door. He's a great driver, a gentleman, and a first class guy. It always appeared to me that he was easily the more skilled driver as between him and Sylvain Tremblay. I'm not sure what was behind that. Maybe they felt they needed new blood, and since Sylvain is the team owner Nick got the boot. I really hope Nick lands on his feet and finds a ride.

It was also great to see Team Sahlen do well with the old SpeedSource cars . . . at least one of them. They went from being Rolex series doormats in the Corvettes to respectable in a single stroke.

Great win for Speedsource, I was a little worried when I got up this morning and saw the Camaro in the lead with the closest RX-8 a few laps back although there was 8 hours to go. Cool to see the R3 as the safety car too.

Yep, Congrats to the entire Speedsource Team.
Was painting the inside of my house the last few days and watched/listened to the entire coverage both days.
69 car ran good for a long time, until it burned up!
Dempsey at 6th(#40) and Sahlen at 7th(#43) ran pretty well also.

Really sweet victory!!
I'm really hoping Speedsource can keep it up, Hopefully this will be their year!!
I'm definitly optomistic right now.
Dempsy is looking good also.
Much love for Nick Ham. And all he's contributed.
I'll have to do some research on this Bomarito kid.
But hey I trust Sylvain knows what he's doing.

Yeah, it was pretty wet for the first couple of hours of the race. Sunday was crazy cold and windy. This is Florida?
