Below is the link to the Go Racing TV Internet broadcast of race Group 8 (which includes T1) for the 2009 June Sprints.

The production is "so so" (not as good as the NASA Championships), but revealing nevertheless. If you watch near the end, the accident avoiding measures taken by the #86 Corvette driven by Joe Gaudette are simply amazing. Joe must have eyes on the back of his helmet.

I think the relevant view is around the 11:00 spot.

They did show the two 'events' everyone was talking about earlier and although Berkeley's event wasn't that great of an angle, Joe's avoidance proves his 'track awareness' in my opinion..........
