SCCA runoffs live now...
The runoffs are live on the internet at speedcasttv.com . Little or no ads- live from Road America, the best track in the USA IMHO...

I give it a very mixed report card, but the bottom line is that it is great getting to watch (at lease most of the time) in real time.
Yesterday was decent coverage but they spent too much time on the leaders. I watch with the live timing & scoring in another window and they didn't cover a lot of very close races. Today is a different story. This morning was full of lockups and audio out of sync with video by as much as a couple of minutes. The low was the lockup in the last 2 laps of the very close SRF race. OTOH, the FV coverage was great.

30 second win in FV. That's REALLY impressive. I missed the race but outside of some wildcard reason, that almost has to be the most dominating drive of the runoffs.

Yeah, missing the last 2 laps of the SRF race was rough. It sucks not seeing the last lap pass/altercation. Looks like Mike had the win taken away by the steward. Crazy.

Looks like Mike won the protest. From the announcer description (and what I know about the driver's styles) it sounds like the right thing.
BTW - I raced Mike in his very first race (or should I say I was in the same race). He won his first outing having gotten his street license a few days before and had been chomping at the bit to get out on the track and race, after years in karts. Great kid and I am very happy to see him make it 4 in a row.

The SRF race was terrific. I'm a fan/friend of Spicer - too bad he lost the draft. I'm glad the steward reversed his decision...for Mike though, it was good clean racing.

The Nissan Z that gained a large lead on the field blew a motor giving the GT3s position 1 and 2. The GT3 in position 2 did a nice job blocking a faster Z in 3rd position that would have contended for the win, but just couldn't get around the GT3. The GT3's had more leg in the long straights.
