MOTV8 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hopefully, they are just playing with track set-up... Must be....they are currently P1 and P3 in practice Two with 10 minutes to go... They were P1 and P2, and then a bimmer snuck in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Nice vader action.....that one with the Moog posters might be worth something to me if I snag it, frame it, and hang it in my office for the next time the Federal-Mogul rep comes around...

Shifty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 If practice three is any indication, there should be little worry of BoP.... With any luck, they nailed their set-up in practice two, and were just playing around with a few things to see what else they could come up with. Taking pole is nice, especially on a track like Lime Rock, but I'd rather race well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Deano...ever think of turning pro??? LOL!!! Yes. You know anyone hiring? Qualifying was a flop, vettes back in P5 and P7 from what I see, but the whole class's laptimes are within half a second from front to back, so.....meh.

Shifty Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Here's something else, Olly was out there for 10 laps to come in second-to-last, Mags 7....the leaders put in 5...If I was on the 4 cars' position, I'd take the 1 place hit to take new tires....

Desertdawg Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Half a second between all the cars isn't squat, other than leading the first lap there isn't much to brag about being in P1. Just keep up and stay out of trouble, we'll get to the front soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Dean, if you're waiting to watch, pay special attention to teh timing/scoring at teh end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I tried to keep one eye on teh race, one on teh timing, and teh other on teh fires to put out at work, but I ran out of eyes. What did you see? I did catch teh Falken car failing and Garcia moving up to third to take teh points lead outright!

Shifty Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Yeah, but Faux Sports neglected to show teh pass for P3.....granted, teh 10 car vs teh 31 Whelen machine was a great finish, but once that race got teh checker, you would think that they would begin to televise GTLM where teh points lead was tooth and nail for P3 and P4 for teh new leader...

MOTV8 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If I didn't have a TV in my office I would skip teh faux sports broadcast altogether.
