Engines have started!!! If you can't find it on SPEED you can listen to it here.
http://www.grand-am.com/ You can also follow the live updates via Grand Am's scoring card here: http://www.grand-am.com/schedule/ind...s=r&cat_id=147 Just scroll down to EMCO Gears Classic and click on "Live Timing and Scoring" be sure to select the "GT" class only and not "ALL" or "DP" then click back on "home" to listen to the race. Here is your front runner; Autohaus Motorsports #88 Camaro GT.R driven by Jordan Taylor (19 years old) and Bill Lester. Edit : Apologies, I originally posted than Banner Motorsports was in 2nd place overall in points and that is not the case. The #11 Brumos Porsche is in 2nd place while Banner Motorsports is currently in 9th with 263 points. Again, apologies for the error. Banner is currently in 3rd place in at Mid-Ohio, Stevensons is in 1st, Autohaus (1st place overall) is in 9th. Only 10 minutes into the race. Last edited by thePill; 09-17-2011 at 02:19 PM. |

Bill Lester in the #88 Autohaus Camaro has spin out and has made contact with the barriers. The points leader has fallen back to 18th place. Stevenson and Banner Camaros in 1st and 2nd.

Jordan Taylor replaces Bill Lester in the #88 Autohaus Camaro, currently 17th place. The #59 Brumos Porsche GT3 driven by Andrew Davis is currently in the lead and coming into this race, was 3 points behind the Autohaus Camaro.
The Autohaus Camaro was experiencing severe difficultly with handling and control which ultimately caused them to spin with no contact from other competitors. I will post the points system up in a few minutes. Edit: The points system for Grand Am. 1st - 35 points 2nd - 32 points 3rd - 30 points 4th - 28 points 5th - 26 points 6th - 25 points 7th - 24 points 8th - 23 points 9th - 22 points 10th - 21 points 11th - 20 points 12th - 19 points 13th - 18 points 14th - 17 points 15th - 16 points 16th - 15 points 17th - 14 points 18th - 13 points 19th - 12 points 20th - 11 points 21st - 10 points 22nd - 9 points 23rd - 8 points 24th - 7 points 25th - 6 points 26th - 5 points 27th - 4 points 28th - 3 points 29th - 2 points 30th - 1 point No bonus points are awarded for qualifying, fastest race laps or improved positions in a race. |

Not bad for the first full season
This year's grand am racing program was absolutely awesome! Next year audi will run a team and Bondurant is probably going to run Corvettes. In my opinion, this type of racing is what it's all about! Congrats to Chevrolet and all the teams that competed!
