Default Champ Car web site cannot be accessed during their race. Niiiiiice.....

Apparently it can't handle the traffic.

Went there to find out more about the Paul Tracy accident and injury and haven't been able to get in for 10 plus minutes.

NASCAR has 50 times the fans and their site works during their races.

Bad.

Default An hour later, it's working! Well, NOT.

And people wonder why this series is failing.

Great Job, Champ Car.

ALMS isn't that much better.

Default Agree. ALMS is a waste, most of the time. You know who will win in most of the classes before

the races start.

Audi - P1

Porsche or Acura - P2

GT1 - Corvette

GT2 - Porsche


At least ALMS has good leadership and a web site that stays up while the race is on!

Default Yep, I know. But what I wrote is accurate. I only talked about class wins..... (spoiler)

and it's not the first time the L2 cars beat the L1, just the first time they beat the R10.

Might not have been the case, had Bergmeister not hit Pirro.

ALMS hamstring'd Audi by changing the class rules THEY SET and audi built a car to, by reducing fuel tank size and a few other changes.

The WORST thing for ALMS is the WAY more expensive Audi's losing to the cheaper class cars. Audi has been on the verge of pulling out of ALMS, and this pushes them closer to the edge.

Since when does anyone think a 1:45 minute race is an endurance race (ala LeMans), anyways?

Default Um, sure.

FYI, I wasn't the one concerned with copyright. I never brought it up, wasn't worried about it, and didn't pull down the photos (which are still in my picture poster) because of it.
