That's unreal. Too much wine in the control booth.

Too many control-freaks & too much hubris in the control booth, more likely...

No excuses for their officiating. I've heard Dave MacNeil is extremely angry at IMSA.

Too many cooks in the kitchen...

Pruett's a very smart guy, not a gossip mongerer...

I'm sure he pitched his subsequent interview to and with Scott Atherton as a way to "come clean." Not sure that is how it came out, though.

This makes my blood boil. This is wrong on so many levels. Not to mention that Alex is one of the nicest guys in the paddock.

What amazes me is that, even after their Daytona 24 debacle, these "professionals" appear to be so full of themselves that they keep firing magazine after magazine of bullets into their own feet...
