I like the slow mo, Paul.

Did his back wheel hit the dirt?
I'll be there on my motorcycle next next monday. Hopefully the same doesn't happen to me.

Laguna isn't too bad at all...i took it easy my first couple sessions there. it's a high speed track, but not for my slow wagon

I thinkThunderhill is a bit more tricky than Laguna and go out on a limb and say t-hill is more fun than laguna. Anyone else feel the same way?

yea i've been to thunderhill fora couple track days. There is only 1 turn to hit anything on. Way safer than laguna and I'd imagine the turns are easier. Laguna looks and is told to be a very trick course. Thunderhill is known as a friendly to beginer course. Although I agree that back hill turn at t hill is heinous and a few of the other turns are tricky,. So laguna isn't that bad? I was cool with my st. 2 sti I use to have when I went to t hill a few years back but I still question my abilities in my fp green sti, at a place like that I'd hate to have an ender.

just a reminder, the race is being shown on CBS in about 20 minutes. suppose to be the same production company as the one that did "Truth in 24." it should be a good one.

Its actually an interesting take on the motorsport broadcast. More insight and knowledge to viewer. Good producing! Beats watching a Nascar or Indy race. Dare I say F1?

i was a bit skeptical with them condensing 6 hours of racing into 1.5 hours of show with commercials. they did a pretty good job. you're right, it's more of a broadcast for insight and knowledge to the sport rather than every little detail that happened in the race. IMO F1/FOM actually has quite a lot to learn on how other sports does their broadcast (HD and making the teams open their radio transmissions for starters).
