Who's watching?

Anyone know of a live stream? SPEED isn't showing the important part...aka the night half of the race. :2up:

Who's routing for who?

I'll be rooting for speedsource seeing as they use the same chassis as my car.. No idea about a live feed though. Maybe google will help me out with that

Yeah but how can you not cheer for a 400+ hp 20b? I also would like to see racer's edge do well for the same reason

*edit* am I correct in assuming it is N/A? I don't know the specifics of the motors in those cars

You may want to try Justin.TV for a live feed. There are a few channels on there that have the races.

They have to get some NASCAR and other crap in instead...as usual. When was the last time they showed the good part of a 24 hour race?

Im sure there is more than just one thing. The Cosmo 3 rotor has 80mm rotors and so does the Renesis i believe.

Dempsey's #40 is the best, so much better than Speed Source

Having Dempsey's car pass you on the start finish line is the most painfully pitch I've ever had from a race car. Every time your ear rings for like 3 secs.

I can imagine it's about the same hurt Downings old LMP cars use to do. Such a piercing sound.

I was watching the rain on SPEED and asked my girlfriend if she thought you were having memories of Petit lol.

personally I think the old LMP cars were worse. The nice thing about the old kudzu's and argo's were the exhaust placement. they used to pipe it up to the front so you could hear it coming from miles away, but as soon as it passed, Silent. the other DLMs, and DLYs were pretty bad though.

the 3 rotor renesis is a screamer too. but nothing like the old 4 rotors. the idle doesnt sound as cool.

Sucked to see the Brumos car go up in smoke. Hell yeah for the 9 car though that's who I was routing for!

I was really wanting the #41 Dempsey/Team Seattle car to pull off the GT victory. Leh was layin down the law on some lap times (consistent 1:51's and had a few 1:50's as well) but they had a rock go through the radiator right after coverage dropped at 10pm, and they just couldn't recover the laps they had lost.

They are still gonna kick ass for the rest of the season...

I wish Dempseys team the best. They let me hangout with them and taught a few things about the world of rotaries and also went out to dinner with Dempsey with my boss. He is an awesome down to earth guy. He sure does hate the publicity bullshit they pull with him. Too bad I missed the race.

He proved this weekend that he can run with the best. He was pulling some VERY consistently fast lap times as well...plus a 6th place finish in class isn't anything to be upset with, haha.

Yeah he is, I met him a few times and from what I could tell in person he had the Paul Newman type of attitude. lol

My ears are still ringing. SPEED did give me some free ear plugs AFTER the race though, that was convenient timing.

^^^ I took some vids with my phone, if you turn the volume up and hold the speaker to your ear you might get the same feeling as a Grand-Am car passing you at 190mph with a wall of aluminum bleachers behind you lol!

lol Yeah, I could see that. We were going to go shifter kart racing last Grand AM at Barber but Gray's Anatomy was rescheduled to be filming that weekend so he couldnt make it.
