Caution, Viper in the wall.
The #92 Porsche has lost a lot of time in the pits, pretty high atrittion rate so far in GT2. |

I need some help. My roommate and I just got into a verbal altercation because he doesn't believe that this race is a time buy on ABC. I said that ALMS paid ABC and that ALMS put together/sold the commercials for the broadcast.
I can't seem to find any online articles that state that this is a time buy. He said that he needs an article to prove him wrong and not someone on a forum. Please help me |

Whilst you look for proof of your case, can he provide proof for his?

He said that he doesn't think that is how it works. And this ensued due to my knowing I am right and being persistent. The results of this are that I am in my room with the door closed and he also is in his room with the door closed. Ugh.

I was going to say that I would be interested to see his proof for his side, .

Nice move by Müller, BMW en route for their first podium finish.
The car seems to have some serious top-speed problems though, they can't keep up with any of the GT2s in terms of straight line speed. |

Panoz gets their 2nd podium in a row!
Correct me if I'm wrong; they're now leading the GT2 points? Also, great to see Dyson running strong the whole day. Hard to tell if Fernandez was backing off, or if the Dysons were legitimately faster. |

This race doesn't even seem like an ALMS race. I hope it gets better after Le Mans with more prototypes and get 25 cars for Road America.
Acura may have won overall, but what a shallow victory for them with the lack of competition. |

Bam, I have my proof. The preceding has been paid for by the ALMS. I am glad I have the race on DVR.
Now, only if my roommate will talk to me. I will have to apologize to him later for being an ahole. |

That race had to go down as one of the greatest snoozers of all the ALMS races I have ever watched. The GT2 race was done as soon as Risi was out, the P1 race was done right from the beginning and P2 was not in the least bit dramatic. The only intrigue was whether or not the Corvette would hang on to a spot in the top three and that also went by the boards.

Oh my goodness. That race was really boring. There was nothing exciting at all except the GT2 battle for a little bit. I was really looking forward to a highcroft deferran car battle until pagenaud had all kinds of problems. IMSA must do something immediately That was the most boring race i have ever seen. O found my self changing the channel during the race a couple of times. Something that was quite impossible last year. On the bright side F1 is more exciting

It was actually better than I expected. But I expected something extremely bad, so a mildly boring race with a couple of exciting overtaking maneuvers in GT2 was an improvement.
