I know it was in rj get together thread but just in case you missed it... Its great watching these guys at a track you've driven on. I'm going to be in the garage most of the day but I'll be taping it. Root for the Boy Racers! Lets kick some BMW butt again this year! Go FORD!

Well, I was the one that messed up. GrandAm ROLEX was on TV yesterday, GrandAm CUP is on next weekend, even though they both ran this past weekend :roll:

Yeah I would've preferred that they just showed it yesterday but then again I would've tivo'ed it anyway. I can't complain too much though because there was a lot of racing on TV yesterday.

*SPOILER*
hey whatever, the end of that DP race was an edge of your seat spectacular!
hock: Those poor GT cars are just moving cones to those guys, I'd hate to be out there being in the way and getting ignorned by the cameras in my GT car. :? Unfortunatly it was one of those moving "cones" that changed the finishing order IN hogpen on the last lap!
- G.Irish - 04-24-2006
Yeah that's what you get with multi-class racing. Or sometimes you get that with single class racing where the backmarkers are stupid slow...*cough* AMA Superbike *cough*
We were switching between F1 and Grand Am and I didn't stick around for the end of the Grand Am race. I think we tivo'ed it though.
Tell you what, from the clips I saw the Grand Am Cup race looks WILD

nah, probably top of 4th. I was doing a good 130ish when he passed. To give perspective when I came out of oak tree he was entering the uphill esses.
- Andy - 04-24-2006
Damn. When you said watch for him after oak tree, I was waiting and you were more than halfway through the back straight. I just assumed it would take another lap thinking there's no way you'd get rolled after getting so much runway and then .. . zoooom. He'd rolled you like you weren't moving at all.
- Dragon - 04-25-2006
It was much better watching both in person :-D Speed said they may decide not to air the Grand AM Cup race considering we had all of like 10 green laps.
- G.Irish - 05-01-2006
Dude that was one of the craziest races I have ever seen!
hock:That crash with the M3 and Cadillac was fawking STUPENDOUS! I hope a vid shows up on the net somewhere...
- PDenbigh - 05-01-2006
The Grand Am Race will be on again 5/3/2006 12:00 PM ET, think someone could PVR it?

Damn, I just deleted it yesterday. You didn't miss any racing, because there really wasn't any, except at the very end for 2-3 laps. The crashes were spectacular though.
- G.Irish - 05-01-2006
Yeah if someone could put together a highlight video of the crashes (and the spectacular near miss) that's all you'd need to see. The Moto GP race however was a must see 8)
