Race Day

So, I promised I'd update the blog with some results of the race. I figured I'd throw in some more pics to make it more real...

Well, as you hopefully picked up on, the XM Acura won the race overall. The Lowe's Acura took first in the Prototype class 2. The Flying Lizard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Jorg Bergmeister and Patrick Long took first in GT2. It was a clean competetive race with no yellows. Not an edge of a seater, but still great to watch. Michelle, the champ she is, had a good time reading during the race.

Here's the start of the race. The Ferrari that drives up at the end had been spun out by one of the BMW's on the opening straightway. At the very end the two BMW's both ended up spinning out. That's what all the dust is from.
