Hmm thats hard to believe, they can't replace a strut? The last lap the subaru came around the corkscrew, it sounded like **** and was smoking some, I knew he wasn't coming back around.

Anyone see the mustang drive up the back straight w broken tie rod?

his wheel was cranked all way but he was going straight lol

I enjoyed the day a lot. But I still don't think the grand am was nearly as fun to watch as American Lemans, why is that? Also whats with the goddamn pace car, does a really poor job.

I ended up going and... yeah... couldn't hold my attention so my friend and I sat at the bar at the top of the hill for most of the time. I did get to see one of the Mazdas not make the corkscrew and end up in the tires in front of me.

I think the Subaru team was having more than a strut issue. That thing sounded awful the last few times it was seen and there was a touch of smoke. Who knows, though.

At least now I know it isn't worth the trip if I want to watch racing. I'll just stick to ALMS.

Yeah, a was hopin Magnussen and Oliver Gavin were going to make it more interesting. Do they have some weird passing rules? It didn't see like the cars have a correct gap in there between the 2 classes.

Unit91 I too got to the corkscrew just before that. Did you see that group of guys there up against the fence with their chairs, they were so goddamn annoying.

I didn't see them. Did you see a guy in a white t-shirt, black shorts and Laguna Seca hat sitting with a girl in a striped shirt? If so that was me. Oh, I had a camo backpack with me also.

I was amazed that cars were attempting the corkscrew two wide... wtf?
