Buddy and I are rolling in Sunday morning for the big show. Does the spotter guide have the radio frequencies for the scanner? I'd like to program them in before we leave for the race. I can't view the damn thing here at work.

Amazing how long they took them to noticed that pile up because they were so busy looking at pit lane

Typical RLM/IMSA Radio :mrgreen:

Oh my gosh, It was so strange. Especially when it was happening and commentators didn't say anything about that

That was horrible to watch

That was some NASCAR Mexico level braking there.

Looking at those skidmarks, wonder if someone dropped fluid and that's why people kept piling in. They did look already out of control.

Well the turn 1 spin happened on the oil dry, is there any chance that there was similar in the esses that just wasn't caught before the race?

Well, in my opinion it was just brake pedal to the metal during corner
