Speedsource win at Barber Motorsports Park

"In the GT class, Nick Ham drove his SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 past Robin Liddell's Pontiac GXP.R with eight laps remaining for the win. Ham and team principal Sylvain Tremblay started on the pole. This was SpeedSource's third win, trimming their championship deficit to 14 points behind Pontiac's Kelly Collins and Paul Edwards, who finished sixth."

There's a thread tracking the Rolex GT on the General Auto forum:

I watched the last 1/2 hour of the race when I got home from an autocross yesterday. That pass by Ham was awesome!

I HIGHLY recommend checking out this series if it's near you this year. I never miss a race at Barber's and this year is the most competitive I've seen.

Go out and support SpeedSource, they're the ones making the best argument for Mazda to up the ante with the RX-8! :D

That was a good race but this years coverage sucks.

They always show GT 1 or LP1 on the speed channel.

^^ Indeed-Speed is really biased toward the DP class now. Their coverage sucks!! We need to send them feedback.
Anyone have a link for the Ham pass? I missed it. I thought speed just never showed it.

In the future please don't put the winner in the thread title. It's a little hard for those of us who haven't finished watching the race to avoid seeing it.
