I can't get onto the radio station stream, repeatedly denied due to full capacity.

Wish you all the best with the race, Carl!

Another red flag the #3 Mitsubishi in Carls group went into a wall . Damn between this and ALMS at Mid Ohio its a racing morning.
Now they are saying it was a car from the time attack, not Carls group.

They just announced a red flag for car # 928 sounds like Carl went off road but they said he would still race.
This is a wild race Robert Lopez in Carls group just finished saying he blew 3 tires and finished.
There has been a bad crash a car in Carls group went into a tree there was a spectator reported in the tree the car crashed right below him. This was reported by a driver having just finishing the run.

CRAP! I guess that proves it take skill, preparation, hard work and a fair bit of luck just to finish this race. It just shows how amazing it really was that he finished and placed last year on his first try.
