On the "mishap" bus, mine was a a close call that ended my enduro due to a tossed alternator belt....

I had raced against #774 at Mt-Tremblant last fall. Nice guy. Too bad it ended up your race.

Sucks that I was 1st in class and 3rd overall at that point though.....
Oh, and when did they start the new "let's leave a 944 at the apex of T7" rule?

Serious Code Brown moment there, Gary. Did your rear bumper contact his car? Sounded like it.

That was a tough couple of corner, Gary. First the white car 'parked' at the apex, next the red 944 coming back on track then spinning at next corner. Good maneuver. What was that guy doing off track-left anyway?
What camera setup do you have? Very nice front and rear.

Wow a great save, Gary. Looks like there was a lot of carnage, plus a serious injury, glad I stayed home again. I got to watch the Grand Am GS race at Lime Rock, now I figured out why Dan Jacobs wasn't there with Baron.
Nice video by RSRracer Chris, reminds me of my Sebring sprint1 this year starting from the back, something you don't want to do at the Glen. It's not so easy passing all those cars with similar power, unlike the famous Leh Keen Glen video.
Peter noticed the powerful GTC3 cars, I have a 3.6 450HP Grand Am engine and could not pull them on the Lime Rock straight at ALL. Time for a 3.8 (legal in my car, not in GTC3).

Red 944 saves out of grass, then lost control trying to keep up. Head's up move, Gary.

They pulled me into the tech garage to check for any damage and he came over to thank me (in German? accent) "for not killing him".. all in a day's work!

Especially when you do the driver change and then they stop yellow flagging...
My co driver was a bit surprised when he first got there

I battled with with that red 944 all week-end long, he was pushing out of control hard......
I am glad you were quick enough to save both of yous......

Gary, you need to share your story about the fine fish tacos you had in town. I told the Mrs. and she laughed her **** off.

That car at the apex of 7 was crazy. I can't believe no one hit it.
