I am glad to hear that the Speed GT and touring championship will now make an apperance at Road America in lieu of the Champ car race. Love to watch the local WI RTR team. Glad to hear they swept at Seabring.

Thankful for the globecast audio and imsa live timing and scoring


TV picture with no sound, radio Le Mans / Globecast commentary and live timing screens worked perfectly.

I thought it was a great race, plenty of problems for all three diesels and the RS Spyders really did themselves justice.

What a great race - this is going to be a great year. I need to figure out how to fit more than three races into my travel plans.......

The globecast radio was nice during the commercials and two-hour gap.....until Jan Beekus opened his mouth

Oh come on, Jan isn't as annoying as Derek Daly trying to announce F1

I'm just bummed the Andretti car didn't go the distance this year but to Fernandez and Diaz, great job.
