Has no one noticed that Chevy pick up responding to the fire and during the conti race that has Imsa written on it and crew members jumping out of it in safety suits with Imsa written on their back?

That's why I will ask again is Imsa safety back?

PointDSM is a back marker
Maybe a design flaw with the Vipers? If the pump was turned off and fuel kept flowing downstream?

They may still be called that, but it's not the same people each week, as far as we were led to believe.

DeltaWing is going to need to pit under this yellow I'd imagine. Would have been interesting to see them start in front and try to hold off the field.

That's what I'm wondering too,because you can see off to the side that the sebring safety trucks also responded to the fire.

I'll also say that the Viper stopped about as far away from any fire truck/marshalls it could have.

Thanks, I remember that switch in rallying and Spanish Autocross but I wasn't fully sure if it was fitted on these GTs.

Poor Viper Team, that car looks a write off

Can't imagine Fox execs are loving this hour of non-action during the live broadcast. Not a lot you can do but doesn't help the series' cause.
