Speedsource Wins again!!!!!

Congratulations to David Haskell & Sylvain Tremblay for another win at Barber. Haskell got pole by 1/2 second and Tremblay finished the race victorious! Thanks for showing the Georgia RX8 bunch a great time.

I was watching it on Speed, the Mustang just ran into the Porsche. No excuse at all, just BAM!
I was amazed in the post accident interview that he didnt let any f bombs drop, he was pretty peeved.

The Mustang had a run on the Porsche. The Porsche moved to block the pass and left the Mustang no place to go. Yes, there was no excuse. Because of his blocking move, he tookout both cars.

Hi guys, I was watching that event and the Type R, RX8 and a 330i were getting a lot of TV time. The 8 was having trouble getting by the Type R and I had to leave before the end. How did it get by the Type R?

The commentators were talking about how all three cars were faster than the other in different parts of the track and you could really see that on the TV. Having one track event under my belt, I was really interested in that as I saw the same thing in my very limited experience on the track - on a totally different level of course.

It was very cool and congrats to the Mazda Drivers!

Hmm, from what I saw there was no block, just that the Mustang didnt have the room to pass and there was nothing that the Porsche driver could do.
