Yes that BS move was all Salo...right after he was out cooling off his feet. They ended up retiring right before Henzler & Bergmeister did.

Yeah, Melo is as bad as Salo.
Do Ferraris make people retarded, or is it that you have to be retarded to drive a Ferrari?
Yeah, Patrick Long was glaring too.
So Patrick moved from LA to Florida, is he getting ready to retire already?

The Lizards have a great paddock setup now with the 3 cars.
Can't wait to drool when I see them in Long Beach in 2 weeks baby!
btw, is somebody going to start a Long Beach event thread?
Anyone doing the "Porscheplatz" at LB?
It'd be cool to have a little group there....

Just watched it again this morning. It was Salo, and it was a total BS move. This is going to another interesting season. Any bets on how long it takes for another F-car driver to get run out of the series? Last year it was Enge who won the asshat award, right?

OK, I'm sure I'll take some crap for saying this, but I thought the IRL race today was entertaining. Some good racing going on. Actual passing, unlike most F1 races I've seen in recent years. The Rahal family has got to be loving it.

mglobe, I also liked the IRL race today. IRL is going to be great this year. I went to the St. Pete GP and ALMS and IRL are very fan friendly and I had a blast spending time in the padocks and watching awesome racing.

Third place LMP2 finishers Patrick Long and Sascha Maassen found their result modified after a rough and tumble day for the #6 Penske Porsche RS Spyder. While the finishing order remains intact, the thirteen points thrid place would have paid has been reduced to ten points after International Motor Sports Association officials deemed Long’s contact with Butch Leitzinger at the end of the race as avoidable. Leitzinger’s subsequent crash would rob the Dyson team of a potential podium finish and also caused the retirement of the GT2 class leading Flying Lizards #45 Porsche, and the #61 Risi Ferrari entry.
