Don't they have any wreckers or flatbeds there? Why would you flat tow a car with a broken suspension?

I think COTA is either in dire straights or clueless as to what makes a good venue for spectators. The only stands available to sit in were at T1 and the main stands on the front straight. It took us 45min to get out of the parking lot....it was a complete clusterfook. It's like they are trying hard not to sell tickets.

Congrats to GMG #17 in GT Cup.

Yeah, that looked like a d1ck move, but I guess could have been an accident.

Their website seems a bit overloaded. Took me 5 minutes just to get the site to load, and I can't get the stream to play.

This is the second day I've tried to watch on line and the stream has crashed both days. Did PWC get bought by IMSA?

He was. He got shoved off to the right side wall at the start. Hit the nose hard. Since the stream is down I haven't seen an interview but he did walk to the pits by himself. Other driver got a stop and hold.

Last year they used speedcast, this year it's ustream. I suppose it is part of their deal with motortrendondemand.com where you have to pay for the replayed races. They seem to have underestimated the demand.

Long was allowed the single defensive move. The Nissan gamers got it wrong, again.

Was never able to get the stream to work. What a disaster.
