And I don’t care to watch Dallas play! Guess I can watch it rain, that’s all it’s done here!

The start (and restart) were like a smash-up derby. And then the broken steering rack. Sigh...

Don't do it....That was the only thing that I was hopping would go good today after watching the attempt to race. Its almost just as bad.

I need a Safe Place...

With the finishing order today, as long as Ford starts the race at Petit Le Mans, Ford will win the GTLM manufacturers championship.

Listened to the entire race on IMSA radio using my device working in a noisy shop, I thought that's what I heard them say. That's awesome! :thumbsup

Without all the recent race developments and bad luck this shouldn't even be close but we will take it!

Going to place partial blame on the Race control

Many of the races have a larger gap between the prototypes in the GT cars.. everyone was so stacked up at the start ...so sad!

I was thinking the same thing... I wondered why there was no separation between classes...

Just checked some videos I have. At COTA when we were there for the rally it was like 10 to 15 seconds... watched another start from Sebring and it was probably 200 to 300 yards.. This was just a bad situation that may have been handled better.. Raj, Mark R ... get on them at the next race !!
