Paul,
I missed some of the early to middle of the race.  In the beginning RX8s
70 and 69 were first and second, respectively.  What happened to J.
Segal?

At least Sylvain T. and Nick Ham won it!!  Three times.  Yeah.
Hope the race officials don't make any changes.

One of the Pontiac V8s blew one of those piston motors at lap 10  :)

I don't know. Until now I did not know they won. My TVIO stopped
recording
before the end of the race. I saved it so if I get time I'll look at it
again.

Maybe John Doonan will fill use in.

Hey guys...good day for us in Alabama.

Yes, the #70 Castrol car driven by Nick and Sylvain got by the #57
Pontiac on a late race restart.  We used a split strategy due to the
heat and made two driver changes so the final stint had Nick nice and
fresh.  No issues with the car at all.

The #69 car suffered some overheating issues, but we were able to make
to the finish to try to gain key points.

Thanks for all the interest and support...hope to see you at a race
soon...

John

Thanks for the report John. Speed TV does not do all that good of a job sometimes.

Speedsource  needs to get my book "How to Cool Your Wankel" :)
