    Thnaks for the pics, MPME, followed the final half our via life-timing and I thought Brabham was going to catch the Spyder. How close was it and did he try the same stellar manoeuver as last week?

    he had him once or twice, but made a few mistakes. he was honest in admitting they were his fault. dumas was exhausted when he climbed out after the race--it was a terrific duel in sweltering heat.

    WOW..what an event!!!

    Like I said b4, I have never been to a AMLS race until now. I went Saturday to the race and it was very exciting. I was sitting in the Grandstands off the Long Straight into the Esses...So I got to see the top speed of the cars and the awesome braking into the turns. I couldnt believe how silent the TDI Power Audi's were, on the other hand the Corvette's and Ford GT's were really loud, but I expected that from those cars. All & all, I had a very fun time and I will probably be going next year too!!!! Its a Shame bout the #66 Acura car that caught FIRE in the pits, he was running well, and hopefully the pit crewman recovers ok....I could see the Black billowing Smoke from where I was sitting.


    Here are some pics I took from the race, there not even close being as good as the pictures already posted, but its the best I could do with my little Cybershot camera. I zoomed in all the way, but the pics are still kinda far out...like I said, I did what I could

    What did you think of the race?
    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.

    No, but I have been to ALMS races at Portland Internation Raceway in Portland, Oregon and last year's season-ender.

    Pruett's take on the Corvette pit debacle:

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    ALMS Video: In-Car Theater Mid-Ohio, Montagny/Matos Acura LMP2
    What’s black, blue and yellow, and could have won LMP2 at Mid-Ohio if not for an early incident? The subject of our first ‘In-Car Theater’ from the last ALMS round.

    Any word on what happened with Christian Fittipaldi after he got sacked by Andretti-Green?

    I know that Herta was brought on by Vision Racing (IndyCar team) as a driving coach.
