    See ya there!

    I dunno, man. They seemed to be struggling in practice today. But, I think they were in and out of the pits a lot. So, that could explain it. Either way, prepare for some close GT2 racing on Saturday!

    Scott Sharp. He was coming out of the pit and made contact with the Flying Lizard Porsche. Got loose and rolled the car four times into the fence. I was standing thirty feet from the accident. When he got out of the car, there was dirt on the top of his helmet.

    ALMS teams can definitely get shit done under pressure, but I seriously doubt that they'll make qualifying tomorrow. The car was done.

    Did you see people getting video? That sounds bad. He was ok i assume?

    I hope they can fix it cause the Acura is a big factor for the race.

    He walked away from the accident untouched.

    They were saying on the radio that the more dramatic crashes are often the "safer" ones based on how the cars are designed.

    I would love to see the car running tomorrow... We'll see.

    I'm still trying to upload the video from today.

    Youtube rejected it after I waited 45 minutes due to a music Copyright infringement.

    Trying Vimeo now.

    And yes, the Acura is probably destroyed.

    EDIT:

    Video added to post #2!

    Updates from 9/25:

    The XM Acura almost got a faster qualifying lap time than the diesels!

    The GT2 Ford GT got its first pole position ever!

    A new top for the Patron Acura was shipped overnight from California. Last that I saw the engine and transmission were in the car!

    Pictures coming soon.

    Take note of the Georgia red clay on top of Sharp's helmet, along with the damaged fence behind the wreckage.

    I'm amazed that he walked away from the accident without a scratch.
