The 458 looks awesome!

 

This link seems to be working well

I have to admit I am surprised at how well the Vipers are doing so far.

 

+1

good to see! the 91 led for a while and have been up there all day.

what happened to the 93?

 

What's with the penalties? Is this racing or what? They have to let these guys drive and race each other. When they do, touching occurs. Penalties should be saved for REALLY boneheaded moves, not good, hard racing.

HUGE wreck for the 23 458.

good to see Bill out of the car.

 

over-officiating IMO.

 

Joker I was just about to post the same. Some of them I understand but the second penalty for the muscle milk car and the penalty just given to Westbrook are absolutely ridiculous. They say they are doing it to get used to the future rules, they are killing the grand-am races the same way, but I mean come on it isn't always the guy who is passing's fault.

 

I disagree. I've worked with Paul Walter before and I think he's just calling the contact more after it's been too loosely called for too long. Getting people's heads straight. Culture change, whatever you want to call it. Have you seen Lally's rant after COTA?

There is no incident unless there is another car overtaking...

 

the problems I see with the way this race is being called are:

-penalties for what is just normal multi-class racing cluster***s, mainly into the corner.

-contact where both parties are equally guilty (i.e. the ESM and Muscle Milk contact), but only one got penalized.

 

Z4 has a broken RF shock....gotta love Sebring!

 

I'm alway surprised we don't see more mechanical failures like that at Sebring.

This is more to the point I was trying to make. With different classes the rule of thumb is hold your line not dive bomb across and to me that's what's happening more often than not. Both parties are racing hard and it shouldn't be a penalty but if it must be "avoidable contact" can be both cars.

 

the most reliable car i every owned. my only effort at really putting the car at it's limit was at 'Tail of the Dragon'. 100+turns in 13 miles, all up hill with no place for error. first was rarely used. 2 and sometimes 3(not often) rpm at 3-6,000 the whole time. tires complaining the entire time. Viper is a real hand full and heavy but has good feed back. try that with my 550 ferrari. the shop would be first stop, if it finished.

 

I got drunk with one of the girls from the 2:00 pm bikini contest and now I can't find my camera

 

I was wondering where all your pics were

we need pics of the bikini contest

 

Has a race thread every been booted to the back room?

I'm getting ready to look at the pictures now and I'll post a few when I can.

 

Kudos sir!

 

Ugh, WTF is up with Speed's coverage, tape delayed ending starting 15 mins before the actual end?!

Fortunately I found the feed on some dude name Justin's TV.

 

Good boy!!

 

I'm pretty disappointed with the disjointed SPEED coverage (Speed2 doesn't play nice with Verizon internet for some reason, so I've been watching Justin's TV too)

 

Speed 2 isn't available in my area...ugh.
