Even if they do get podium, they are GT they wont show it..

Kinda sorta.. 'eh hell I am very disapointed with the lack of coverage of the GT. As I stated yesterday the GT's seem to come off as a obstacle for the Dp's to get around rather than they are there for race also. Sure a few "token" interviews especialy with SS that is sponsored by Mazda (which sponsors ALMS, and a few other race series on Speed), but again feels like the GT class is field filler.

Only so much I can take of Montoya news and how "In a few weeks he'll be full time in Nascar..". To me if it was on Fox soley ok concentrate on the Dp's only 'cause that is most likely why people are watching, as in the Nascar champs (duh). But its Speed Tv!!.. people who watch this know racing and love racing.

Wow.. as I watch this they switched to some Gt Coverage.. wait nvm.. was only 30 seconds of it.

the leader porsche is in the pits, fixing the smoking, Randy is closing in on the car ahead, a sec or 2 each lap. if we pass that car, we should get 4th. 3rd... we'll need even more help.. haha

My sentiments too!! I'm sick of hearing about "Nascar Notables."

Speedtv is owned by FOX. So it figures I guess.

I had to laugh to myself watching those mechanics trying to find a leak on an engine you can't see!! Throw a little more water on it guys, that should help.

I seen the water come out and I cringed.. for some reason I just pictured huge flames popping up dont know why.. but then I seen that HUGE plume of steam come up and chuckled. I bet the exhaust got a crack in it and started to melt sumthing. The smoke seemed to of disapeared after the engined was killed.

Speedtv is a must. But expect daily Nascar overwhelm. I need to get a DVR so I can filter it out.

we might see more of that in this last hour now, if the top DP cars are close to each one another, they'll battle it out, and... create some mess. also, first two GT cars are fairly close, they should go side by side any moment.

We might have a chance of getting 1st in every class if we install a flux capacitor in the rx8.
