Sorry it took me so long - it's State Fair time up here so I had to wait and watch it on DVR.

And thanks to both of you for posting!!

That was an unbelievable smash up at the end. I think Hines' mohawk must have magic powers to be able to walk away from that.

What really got me, though, was Dirk Mueller's earlier launch/crash in the BMW that caused that first long yellow. At that point Jan Magnussen in the #4 Corvette was in second and nipping at the heels of the first place Porsche. But after the yellow he lost almost a whole lap and their race was ruined.

Oh, and speaking of the Corvettes almost getting tangled up in a crash, did anyone else watch the Le Mans 24 hour event this year? Antony Davidson hip-checked the leading Corvette while sweeping through the Porsche Curves in his Peugeot LMP-1. Davidson then finishes his stint and actually blames the GT cars for, "slowing us down." Weeeeeaaak.

Anyway, we've still got Grand-Am in Utah plus Petit Le Mans to try and squeeze out a win for our Chevy boys.

Hey Prima Donna - any idea when Speed Channel might televise the Continental SCC race at Montreal? I'm dyin to see if Stevenson closed the gap to that Roush Mustang.

Hasta!

EDIT: Oops, I forgot. Mags got smacked in the wheel by the Dyson/Lola/Mazda prototype car right before that yellow happened. What's with these prototype drivers?
