damn! i missed watching this on TV :facepalm: oh well, glad y'all had a good event! i'll see you guys in august :woot:

It will probably show up online, check out piranha in a couple of days.

why did one of the announcers call the bold move on the mustang "lame" ... did I miss something or hear it wrong ?

The announcers suck, it's just that simple. IMHO when it comes to Grand-Am if it's not porsche, camaro, mustang, or bmw the announcers don't care.

I wasn't listening to them, being hearing impaired pretty badly I always have the sound on my TV turned off and just watch the CC words, but sometimes the words are not always what was said LOL ... they only showed the one replay and I didn't see anything that would be considered "lame" so wasn't sure as I am not a race car driver ... I just thought it was two guys wanting the same real estate and there eventually was only room for one car.

Calvin said it was a bit of a LATE move. What the coverage didn't show is us leavin the corner before where the Mustang got sideways and in the middle of the track ... I came over the hill on his outside ... And he comes back over running me
wide all the way through Thunder Valley leading into that turn. He then quickly moves back over to the normal line at the last minute ... We were both already committed
And it was too late...
Was I an angel.... No
Could I have backed off and let him go.... Probably
But with 10 minutes left... Our battle is fighting cars with more torque and hp and crappy tire wear....his tires were shot an he was lossing positions.
If I waited...it woulda took me another 1-2 laps to get a chance to get around.
Gotta fight for every inch of pavement and I hate blocking.
Ive been on the other end of that battle to many times.
Is what it was.... Hard racing with minutes to go.
Neeeeeeext

well that makes more sense than LAME ... as I mentioned sometimes the peeps that type in that CC stuff type some weird stuff ... lotta typos etc.

Good for you! Thats what any good racer would have done. You get the reputation of somone who gives up and other drivers will walk all over you. Id rather have reputation as the guy who holds position and fights for every advantage than guy who is nice.

If anyone missed the race and would like to download it, PM me for the private torrent link.

Ps....the mustang incident got reviewed by the officials and was brought up in our Road America drivers meeting......basically ....if you drive like an A hole...sometimes you have it coming.
SPOILER ALERT.....
Although it wont ve in the showing of the Road America broadcast...the same mustang beats up john edwards right in front of me in canaa corner on the last lap..watkins glenn should be fuuuun!

It's streamable at grand-am.com with no commercials even! I was surprised to see that but happy since my tivo deleted it while I was half way through.
