Lime Rock: The Northeast Grand Prix

[FordCosworthPanoz]

This yellow sucks for Plowman and Conquest Racing.

Cosmo taken out at the apex of the last turn by an LMPClubber.

What the hell has ESM done to have this kind of season? Im more angry than Cosmo is!

[Rodger Davies]

ok, feed's sort of back

[picchiofan]

So, Muscle Milk loses 4 laps in the pits due to electronics issues, and makes up all 4 on the track to win.

That's gotta suck if you're dyson. The only other car in your two car class breaks, and still comes back to smoke you.

Why was Web-TV so easy for SRO to sort out so quickly even when an average user didn't have several options to set up a free web-streaming service?

[FordCosworthPanoz]

I really hope Muscle Milk comes to Le Mans next year, them vs Dyson this year in ALMS P1 is like Man United vs the Wolverhampton Wanderers

[Articus]

Is the Dyson car a lap down already? Wow.

[NightStalk3r]

SRO partnered up with an already established streaming services like Dailymotion and Youtube, ALMS have tried to do it all them selves and have failed miserably.

I haven't seen the accident but surely there's a way to blame Ferrari driver. You know, the visibility and everything.

[FordCosworthPanoz]

German, it's just better.

I think SRO started way back with their 'own' service in cooperation with Gigawave, back when Dailymotion and Youtube didn't do live. And even then it was decent. Now there are many more possibilities, and very little excuses to continue failing a this for over a year

[Articus]

Muscle Milk must have a big German following.

To put it in perspective, Dyson got a larger restrictor and a 30kg weight break, and still finished on the same lap as the two 2 LMP2 cars.

Muscle Milk lost 4 laps due to a transmission issue, and had to serve a stop & Go penalty at a 45 second a lap track,

not in the slightest. Kimber-Smith just took him out. Cosmo even gave the clubber room.

And, thanks to IMSA's 'Team specific BOP', they'll probably get another after this race.

That's what I thought about the McNish incident and they're still moaning about it.

Its pretty clear the 458's rear visibility played a huge part in that accident, Kimber-Smith couldn't see the rear of the 458!

The Stream was fine for me until they edited it out the end of it. (?)

I had ESPN Canada on tap but that was hardly much more help because they went to commercials.

Im preatty sure 458 have those huge LCDs with rearview cameras for race cars...that could be team specific though..

Maybe they are too bright and blinding them prototype drivers every time they get close.

I just finished watching this race on the dvr. It was the worst job at calling a race I had ever seen. The race started about an hour late and I had hoped the commentators on espn would have known what was going on, but they seemed more confused about the race than I was even though they were watching all along.

Other thoughts: Muscle Milk was on fire to make their laps back. As much as I hate to admit it, Scott Tucker had a great race keeping the Conquest car at bay. Same goes for Flying Lizards, surprised to see the Porsche hold off the Corvettes (yes I know the Porsche got some bop love)

[awegrzyn]

I was at the race and this is the actual Quest and Ferrari crash:

Chris Dyson on Twitter:

"Exciting race for us @DysonRacing . @GUYSMITH16 and I gave it our all at our home race, and lady luck didn't smile on us. Car getting better"

Yep, because your trouble free race with no incidents was incredibly unlucky while the Muscle Milk car going 4 laps down and getting a pit road speeding penalty had a four leaf clover and rabbit's foot in it.
