Amazing work by Long on the start. Caution period for that damn Viper.

funny that the new C6 and Viper can only run as fast as top speedGT times . (and they are on slicks too!!)

And I was informed that it will be on in the Bay Area at 2:30, after the basketball game. Looks like Directv updated a broadcast schedule overnight.........

Just watched it. Interesting finish. Long was impressive... I may be speaking out of line, but it appears that Penske's presence was missed...

Aaaaaaaagh! Lizards should have let Pilet pass Henzler. He seemed to be fastest all weekend and probably had a better shot at Muller. Also, think maybe one Lizard car should have double stinted the tires and kept Muller behind him with the other Lizard car behind Muller.

Looks like the RSR is up to speed in 08.

Yep, that is the good news. Amazing the luck Risi has had. Also, gotta love the idiot announcers. For 30 minutes they kept saying the Henzler was cruising in the lead when all the scoring lines said #71 was in the lead. As usual, the main networks are a bunch of bozos when it comes to ALMS. And....WHAT WAS UP WITH GOING TO THE "MOVE OF THE RACE" THE LAST 2 MINUTES!

Yup. I missed how Tafel got in the lead, but the RSR really looked like the faster car in the closing minutes of the race.

Great last lap in GT2. Things look sunnier than last season for the RSRs thats for sure.

Tafel got the lead on the pit stop by double stinting the tires.

The color announcer for this race and St. Pete was horrible. Be glad for the return to Speed.

Yeah, I don't get how passing someone under power on a straight translates into a "brilliant pass" by Luhr.
