Saturday's race was a classic example.
Case in point, on Saturday Long in the Porsche CHASED Auberlen in the BMW all the way to the checker before the BMW ran out of gas. On Saturday the Corvette FOLLOWED the Viper to the checker in yellow flag formation.
I don't understand how that defies logic foe you.  And you don't need to be a genius to know which was the better race.
Please explain, if you can, how the ALMS race was better.

The race is more than the last 10 minutes. It lasted for 2 hours and 45 minutes so that means cars were racing for much longer than 10 minutes. The race ending under yellow was a letdown, but that doesn't mean that the other 2 hours and 35 minutes of competition wasn't good. ALMS doesn't have to do much to put on a better race (notice I didn't say show, as this isn't a NASCAR-affiliated series) than Grand-Am.
The wet start was great. Cars were jumbled up and somehow the Delta Wing actually led the race! Then when the track started drying strategy came into play.
The biggest thing: people passed each other without hitting and wrecking every time.
