They are changing the feed cams while off-air on the TV. Give it a few minutes.

If you get a chance, watch for the brake rotors glowing as the cars brake for the bus stop.

It would be so sweet to just press a button and have your car jacked up and down.

Morning. Once the feed switched to the roof cam and chatter, I went to bed, but kept the streaming on my tablet. Slept for ~5 hours, periodically waking up to watch the ticker and progress. Not sure why they cut back to the fixed car cams 2 hours before the TV coverage picks back up though.

This was fantastic to watch. The TV crew needs to use that camera more often for the bus stop action. It was really interesting to see the difference in brake heat front to rear between the various cars, heavier cars lighting up more, etc...

Camera 3 just showed a couple of near misses. 3 wide into turn 1 and lots of evasive action. No harm no foul though.

I fell asleep on the couch at about 11. I almost made it through the movie the wife wanted to watch, but kept the ticker open throughout. I just went to bed after that.

There is still a lot of time left, but speedsource has their work cut out for them. Wonder if they'll start to penalize the p cars through out the year like they have for the mazdas for the last 3 or 4 years.

There's also a Camaro and a Ferrari in front of him.
