Default Pics+video from Grand Am at NJMP

Got some decent shots and video from the race today. Must be said that NJMP isnt the most fan friendly track in terms of air conditioned buildings in 95* heat, but overall a great day.

Videos can be found at the link below

LOL, 95* is cool compared to the day before. It was 104 in the shade much less in the car. ;-)

I wouldnt give two ****s about the heat if I was driving but to sit and watch a race its nice to be able to go inside to cool off every now and then.

Nice pics. I was there on Sat and with the breeze and being in the grass/dirt it was tolerable. Being in a car would have been another matter all together. Track temps on Fri were supposidely 140. Decided to watch from home on Sunday and catch ALMS on the computer at the same time. Really illustrated how a proper course design adds flow to a race, making it more enjoyable as a driver and a spectator.

111 in the sun and we got a 136 in the car. Brutal!

Don't hate me Fred but I "watched" via live timing from my house.

I loved knowing there was live timing until T1 on lap 2 of the race. Braking at the 3 marker to hold off a charging blue M3 and overtake 2 cars doesn't work...
