Nice shots! Lizard guys got toss around like ping pong in this race. What a fantastic race to watch (horrible TV coverage) and if you get a chance watch on ESPN2 - some hair raising pass right at crock screw!

go to 8:37 mark in this video

Wild pass! Rebellion really wanted this win. They have a much faster package, but haven't been able to pull it off at either Long Beach or Laguna.

Nice find, Mike. Def gonna watch the 2 full videos tonight.

Yeah, great battle between Rebellion and Musclemilk. Very nice move by Rebellion passing the Tully GTC car right before T3 (1:16:58 on 2nd vid), but ended up costing them the race.

My wife thought I was nuts yelling and screaming watching the race on TV. You really need to have first hand driving experience at Laguna Seca to understand what it's like going into crock screw 3 wide ... brass *****!!

That is awesome, Mike. I definitely agree with you at the corkscrew; the wide angle video made it look like there's a lot of room, but in fact it is narrow and blind. They got ***** of steel, for sure.

Oh yeah, these P1 guys went at it through crock screw not once but twice! GT battle was really good too.

55:35 mark on video - GT cars go into T10 3 wide
1:10:57 mark on video - P1 cars passing at crock screw
