What were they thinking!?

Kudos to AGR: they ran a great race, and those Pesky Penske Porsche are not so dominating after all.

Not our best effort at Belle Isle.

The car was excluded because it was 2.5kg too light at the end of the race. This was due to a nose - Mike S 2008-08-31 14:50:32 (80 views)

I wonder what they would do if a sizeable part fell off during a race. - PotomaC32-Greg 2008-09-02 06:23:37 (39 views)

That is different and allowed. They then weigh the difference between the damage parts and the - Mike S 2008-09-02 08:24:07 (47 views)

None of the issues you cite are really "luck". They are mistakes and there are different people on - Mike S 2008-09-03 06:19:59 (40 views)

Well, winning streaks have to end sometime. 30's a nice round number. Luhr - jbchinoca 2008-08-31 09:45:35 (76 views)

Oh yah, just a shame that the streak ends over something completely out of the driver's hands. - InTTruder 2008-08-31 10:36:57 (49 views)

I agree with that. Guess that means they do post race weights w/o driver? - jbchinoca 2008-08-31 11:57:18 (47 views)

All the podium go to tech post-race IIRC. - InTTruder 2008-09-01 05:40:44 (43 views)
