GT coverage was terrible, even on the prototypes they showed a car spin in big bend, panned the shot away and then showed the cars coming through dirt. They need to hire some people from ESPN!
Not exactly a lot of cars either, what was it 13 in the prototypes and about the same in GT?

Those Mazdas looked good. One of the announcers said they weigh 400 lbs less than the vettes (if I heard him correctly). So they corner well. But, I didn't see the vette pull them much in the straights, which prompts this question: what kind of power are the Mazdas making?
And I agree: the coverage sucked. As noted, they showed the LG car against the wall. No discussion, no follow up.

I just got back from the track
LG got rearended by a Mazda early on
it damaged the diff which eventually gave out.
Man I feel sorry for him
I did get to see some old friends one I haven't seen since I live in Detroit. Turns out his a Pro driver now. You may remember him from the Forum Todd Lamb, he drives an RX8, (not the one that his Lou).
I'll post some pics after I upload them.

I remember Todd Lamb. I bought some wheels from him and he took for me a ride in his yellow Z06 at Waterford. I see his name in Grassroots Motorsports Magazine from time to time. He has done very well in the MX-5 Cup. I'm not sure if the magazine he started years ago is still around or not.

Lap 62. Class winner did 167 laps. :-( Agreed that the coverage sucked. Even live T&S wasn't very good. I wish they'd break out the GT with their own laps lead and "back from leader" ...

Once they pulverize them with ultrasound so they can pass, he'll be OK. Of course, even passing little pieces of a stone is the worst pain you'll ever feel as a man. Nurse said take that, multiply it x2 and that is how it feels to give birth...
No wonder they want a spinal when they go into delivery.
He'll need to change his diet to keep them away...
