Thanks for the explanation.
So I guess prototype is the only hope for Mazda to return to 24hr of LeMans at the moment. I hope to see them at LeMans one day! I was too young to witness the 1991 winning moment. |
Hey Guys
hello again. bean a while since i posted.
Yes, when i was entering turn two i was having a quick flashback of the 70 mazda. luckly i got the car slowed up but dam. It was just not enough time. one second open track the next, porsche in the face. Impact didnt look to bad but everything on the front right is gone. chassis is bent. the wheel had to be cut off of the right rotar. i just don't understand what goes threw peoples heads to drive across an open racetrack. But i am fine. figure we send the bill to Ted at TRG. Anyone find a video online of the it. i would like to see it. |

Anyone find a video online of the it. i would like to see it. i watched it happen live. it is still in my brain. as the porsche coming back on the track i was thinking this is bad.. i feel for you, looked like you were off to a very good day.. beers :beer: |

Yeah that was a crap merge. I know better than that getting onto I-5 for Pete's sake. You don't get back on line until you're up to speed. I think those Porsche guys can't stand getting beat by you Mazda guys.:)
We're glad you're okay and keep on showing them who's boss! |
yeah sorry about that porshe he needs to learn how to drive. good luck at the next race in Mexico Robert (didnt know you were on the fourm, that is great!)
|
Haha, why does TRG and Farnbacher fields 3 cars (1 more than last year), they use the extra one to take out Mazdas.
Glad you're okay, keep us updated! Mexico should be a great track for the RX-8s ________ MoonCrystal cam |

Quite true. The 70 Mazda was bumped going into turn 1, which costed them 5-6 positions? Again it was bumped when they were 3rd at the end, down to 5th. The 40 Mazda was wrecked.
|
yeah they only cover about 25 percent of the race and evertime they do cover gt it sounds like they have to. it is so much more exciting.
didnt the 70 car win last year at mexico? |
yeah we won there last year!
Any updates on other chassis being raced this year? Pettit racing?... They have theirs built and ready last I heard, maybe they're too busy building superchargers =) ________ HOT_CANDY cam |

I wouldn't mind the extra DP coverage if the cars weren't so hideous (i know it's for safety), I hope they have more separate DP/GT races this year than last. |
only one gt-only race this year if i remember correctly, and that is lime rock.
good thing i plan on being there! woo |
mexico city practice starts tomorrow~ looking forward to race day

I have not been following lately- way busy at work. :rant: |
shit,
is it both protos and gt????? beers :beer: |
grrr. 70 taken out again.
|
# 21 Pontiac just clipped the right rear of the Speedsource # 70 and spun it into the wall. This is the same team that took them out before.
I want to see some penalties accessed to this team. SMF! |
hey they're back in, but way behind, at least if the car can run they should be in decent shape for next weekend.

Just watched the replay on my DVR. Matt Connelly Motorsports...do those assclowns have a website? I'd like to tell them where to stick their Pontiac. Bastards.

If those guys could drive worth a damn they wouldn't have chosen a Pontiac.
|
IMO, there were so many penalties that should have been imposed.:spank:
Is Grand-Am turning into another breed of NASCAR style "bumping and rubbing"??? |
^I hope not, it really spoils the race and could make it too expensive for teams to compete. Grand Am GT is definitely the most exciting racing I've seen and I'd hate to see it go bust. As for the DP class... I could take it or leave it. The non-rival traffic makes the race more interesting but GT just has better competition IMO.

i was watching the NBA playoffs and then suddenly found the race, i saw the last 7 laps :( i heard the 70 was in a crash but i never saw any pictures. does anyone have a link. and what happeend to the 69 car it was in 4th towards the end but came in 5th!?
