ALMS race Laguna Seca
For any of you guys that are race fans......
Went to Laguna Seca last weekend to see the ALMS race. Best race ever EXCEPT the leading 911 crashed the GT2 Vette into the wall on at the finish line. The last half hour was the best racing that I have ever seen. Jan Magnussen has to be one of the most fearless drivers that I have ever seen. Anybody that can should try to see this race on Speedvision. The GT2 Vettes are the class of the field and to hear them at full pitch sends chills down your back. About that Flying Lizard 911 driver. He needs to lose the victory as he could have really hurt Jan. Dirty driving but what can you expect from a Porsche.

Yup, it was great racing but hard to accept the end. There is another thread running about it:

If you dish it out you have to take it. I just hope that the Magnussen guy isn't to banged up cause he hit very hard. He lost it going approx 150 MPH.
I would like to hear what the race officials thought of how the vette got taken out though. Definitely a squeeze play.

Dude as much as I wanted to see the Vette beat the Lizard P car Magnussen slammed into the back of the P car on the last turn to loosen him up so the P car would have a bad launch on the straight.

No question about that my friend. Porsche went from defensive drive to very aggressive drive. Keep in mind that Magnussen did a very aggressive double tap on the last turn to unsettle the P car and its driver.
