Awesome drive by David Brabham. Congrats to Acura for its first overall win.

What a fantastic race!
Any time Acura (or most any other brand) can kick Porsche asss on track is a beautiful thing.
And the Acura win was a tight battle right down to the wire, great drive!!!

I have to say, from all I saw on TV, I think the changes to the track could have been WAY BETTER! I totally do not like the narrowness of the track as the cars sweep right into the new chicane at the end of No Name Straight. I just do not see why they could not have cut into that hillside more and made the turn-in wider, leaving the Armco right where it is.

Jesus Andrew I almost spit out my coffee

When I was 16, mom said "I know you will do what you want no matter what I say, just don't get pregnant". Took those words to heart and have not regretted them since

Wish I was going to Mid Ohio too

I think my mom said that as well.. .and *knockonwood*, I listened to that part of the lecture



I think you should still go to the race... they've got camping sites at Mid Ohio as well...
