Please do not post race results in the title of your thread.
Lots of folks will DVR the race and watch it later. Always title the thread "Spoiler Alert 24 Hours of LeMans" in the future.
And yes it awesome to see two Corvettes win their class and celebrate Louis Chevrolet's 100 Anniversary.

Good to see we have some race fans here! Yeah I'm proud of them, hopefully this win will carry over back in the ALMS series where they haven't had much luck since switching over to the GT2 class.
