Good luck to you. And hopefully, it's a clean race.

Shamu · 09-07-2012, 05:57 PM

Good luck! Looks like you will have tough time with lack of power as I suspected.

i'm assuming the race will be on here shortly: GRAND-AM LIVE! on USTREAM: The official USTREAM account for the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, the professiona...

is that right?

BJ just took the lead from the Aston....now under full course caution. Good job BJ...now hold them off.

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 06:34 PM

BJ just took the restart. Before he was able to cross the start finish a multi car wreck took place in the back of the GS field. Back under full course caution.

HKYStormFront · 09-08-2012, 06:37 PM

looks like they just pitted and switched to mike skeen... they are in p14 currently

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 06:39 PM

We can all thank wonderful GRAND-AM officials for killing BJ and Mike's chances of a win (at this point). A minor infraction as a result of wrecked cars sitting in the pit stalls both in the front and rear caused Mike to accidentally clip a wheel sitting in the pit box.

The team will now have to perform a stop and go penalty.

uugggghhhh, are you serious?!

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 07:05 PM

May have spoken to soon. Never doubt the speed and skill of Mike Skeen! Up to 11 after falling back to 17th.

Very nice spot light on the DORAN Team, Kevin Doran himself, the NISSAN MOTORSPORTS program, Mr. Stukenburg. Glad to see the media giving the due coverage to the team. I saw from the coverage that DORAN team was pitted right next to the ST Skull Candy Nissan Altima.

HKYStormFront · 09-08-2012, 07:07 PM

yea i just checked the live timing and saw he's back up towards the top 10...

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 07:10 PM

Skeen just impressed the hell out of the SPEED TV guys. RIght after the restart the announcers were laughing and excited about the pass he pulled.

The announcers are rooting for him and telling other drivers to get out of his way.

SPEED2's coverage is HILARIOUS. These guys are editing and filming mostly. They are cutting up, cracking jokes, complaining. So much better than the actual broadcast.

takjak2 · 09-08-2012, 07:15 PM

Watching live timing. It is clear the Z has the speed (has been), and there is still lots of time left in this race. Go Z go!

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 07:18 PM

Unfortunately for the ST Skull Candy Altima team...one of the two fielded cars just wrecked out. Wreck coming into turn 1 shunting the Altima off course. Hate to see any NISSAN powered car wrecked out.

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 07:33 PM

One caution right after the other...welcome to the Grand-AM Bumper Cars @ Laguna Seca. Caution number 9 O_o !

Skeen up to 6th!

Dustin@Z1 · 09-08-2012, 07:45 PM

Well luck of the draw and unfortunately DORAN had a good go. Skeen was able to fight up to 5th again before Caution #10 saw Skeen and Plumb get together.

Skeen was able to lump the car back to the pits. Light damage from what the monitors are showing. Skeen took 4 tires. Light damage to the fascia.
