Ban him!!! Seriously, Stig, after 1000 posts you should know better. A lot of us wait until a race airs to check results so we can watch without knowing the outcome.

The rule has always been 'No Spoilers In The Title'. Right, John?

ok folks. Changed the title of the thread. Apologies to those who found out before the race airs in 2 weeks. Must be hard to avoid all news of a race for two weeks.

ep3_lol

I was siding with the guys who haven't watched the race here at first, but does it really air in two whole weeks? That's a long time to avoid the news in this day and age...

177mph

Correct. Oct 13th on speed.

For what it's worth, I still don't even know what happened. I woke up with a trophy on Sunday Morning that said Driver's Champion and I'm still confused.

Thanks to all that followed, supported and cheered us on.

John

P.S. While I have been yelled at for posting spoilers and while I have orange hair and have been called a pumpkin head before, let's all just calm down a little.

GTgears

They now stream them live on Speed2. Many people saw the race as it happened.

Cory M

Yeah, with more stuff streaming preventing spoilers on forums is probably going to be a losing battle in the future. Still it would be nice to keep results out of the titles, seems like a pretty simple and courteous thing to do.

That is a very simple rule and there is no reason to violate it....

Unless you have some kind of vegetable head!

True, and you'll never see me violate that "rule".

But in this day of Twitter and Facebook it is a losing battle. If you "like" the fan sites of any of your favorite teams or drivers you are going to get an update on your wall minutes after the race ends.

How bout we just leave it up to each individual to avoid the news or not on there own instead of assuming things.

Darkstar1

So are we also supposed to not discuss it for two weeks so someone will not make the mistake of opening the wrong thread? Maybe they should just not go into the racing and drivers forum until they watch...

The Brewmeister

Pssst! Don't go on Grand-Am's website either.

Really though, Grand-Am should air these races sooner. They have a great series with the Continental Tire Challenge. Surely some of the crap that passes for programming on SPEED could wait.

winders

Discuss it all you want....just don't put the results in the subject. Before you say it, how often do results of a Pro race get discussed in a thread not about that Pro race? Not too often so just stop it....

Scott

That's just a stupid comment.....

I think the thing some people seem to be missing is that this was not just some random race. It was the last race of the year and with it Rum Bum won the team championship. That's something that's a little bit more difficult to keep under wraps. The fact that they won the race is kind of secondary. The underlying point of this thread was to publicly congratulate them for winning the title.

Sure, you can leave the results out of the thread title, but anyone who has been following the series and rooting for the Porsches that is a true fan actually wants to know about this success. I can't imagine anyone who truly gives a damn about GS class racing in Grand Am didn't check on this because whether or not they got to watch how the race played out, they wanted to know who won the season. Speed doesn't do the fans any favours by waiting a couple of weeks to replay the race, but as far as I am concerned, anyone who is complaining that they found out about this championship win through this thread didn't really care whether or not they won the championship in the first place.
