Stock hardware, corner balance, allignment, springs (progressive suck), LSD with a day of small adjustments maybe 2:11........

Lets DO IT

Yep...I could watch the race either...Road Runner kept saying I was not auth'd!

Honestly, I'm sick of ALMS...I didnlt even watch much of any of the races last year...they make it way to hard to be a fan. F 'em!

ALMS site works perfectly over here (Deutschland). What's the deal with the US and its BS producers? We watched the entire race from Munich and that was one of the best GT battles I've ever seen--last lap rivaling Melo/Bergmeister all over again but this time the F got what it deserved. Really too bad we couldn't have a Porsche in the mix...how much longer until the 991 Cup shows up? Joey Hand was incredible, so excited to see him running in DTM over here soon. And then Australian F1 only three hours later what a night.......

Watched the majority of it on ESPN3 streamed to my iPad. It worked well.

Hooked up the laptop to the tv and watched most of the race. Picture was great. I suspect ALMS wants a "ground swell" of people complaining to their cable companies to start " covering" ALMS.

I've started watching the Australian V8 races. Good coverage and I don't have to fool with ESPN3 or delayed and edited coverage. I like ALMS but I don't want to fool with the current viewing situation in my area. Someone is wasting their advertising dollars.

Watched ABC coverage today. Thought they did a modestly better job than last year. They even showed a few seconds of the IMSA Patron race (although they did spell Fernando Pena's name incorrectly)....

It's an ESPN thing, not an ALMS thing. We had the same issue with World Cup soccer. And when you enter an ISP that's not on your list, what happens? They link you to an email address to write a complaint to your ISP. It's a set up. I've clicked out of it a couple of times and haven't complained to my ISP. Instead, I go find a direct email link to ESPN3's email and send them a complaint email. Guess what happens then? Nothing. Not even an acknowledgment that I sent them an email. I've sent about half a dozen emails in the last few years and every single one of them has been flattly ignored by ESPN.

Would suggst that you direct it to your cable company (although it would take a large number of complaints for them to act - like NFL Network football being blacked out in a local market)

That's not going to do me a damn bit of good. I get cable through Direct TV. My cable has nothing to do with ESPN3 because they are not my ISP. My ISP is Qwest/Century Link.

I think I'll keep doing what I've been doing. ESPN is the problem. They are missing out on veiwers because of their policies.

ALL of this is why I am a GrandAm Rolex fan and not an AMLS fan. If you can't watch it, why try to follow it? I may change my mind if my cable provider signs up for ESPN3, but that won't likely be for another year, as they are being acquired by another cable company.

Good bye and good riddance AMLS. Cut a deal with the SPEEDTV folks and we'll welcome you back.
