Default ALMS Semi-Spoiler (and LOL)

Am I reading correctly that a GT car could end up on the overall Podium? Or at this rate maybe win overall?

I can't believe that this race is not televised until next weekend. Or is that only because I live (somewhat) close to LS? (hope so)

No, none of us can see it. I'm watching live timing and scoring. A GT car was just in 3rd overall, not back to 5th

I'm watching it on my computer through a live stream from ALMS.

Not sure. I left the room for a bit and things changed.

10 minutes left and we're full course Yellow. Could be one hell of a finish in GT....

Wait we're Green and Patrick Long took the lead....

That was one of the best races I've ever seen. I'm so glad ALMS setup the webcast. It was well done. Although ol' John made so many mistakes on the Radio Le Mans simulcast, it actually became fun to wait for what he'd call wrong next. Overall, great as webcasts go.

The TV version next week is going the be just a little condensed.....

I agree, Ed. Great race! I missed the finish though because I had to leave for a dinner date with my wife.

I'm glad that Long (my favorite driver) won.

Hey Ed -- you're absolutely right!

6 hours of live wild coverage, no commercials, and several replays from different angles on the passing and crashes.

Wow, I think that's the new / best way to watch a race!

I only had to restart the feed a couple times after going away for a spell.
