The ALMS and American Sportscar racing in general is full of scammers and criminals, looks like the boys at Lime Rock Park wanted in. Chief Scott Tucker and the Tribe of Miami Motorsports would be proud.

Loving it, the trackside is so GREEN... seeing sportscars racing @ Lime Rock is the definition of summer for me!

This will be the longest ESPN2 broadcast since the new TV deal was made btw, Long Beach may have been live as well but that race was 45 minutes shorter than this

It's only a 2 hour broadcast, from 4 PM to 6 PM EST. I think they'll do catch up the first hour and show the last hour live.

Yeah , nice to see a place with character such as is Lime rock ..... I thought Brands hatch was a real gem of a place , elevation changes , trees , scenery , hike up and down dale and fast & slow bits ..... a real track . Should have been the premier track in GB , imo .

Will probably have commercials every 5 minutes like the ALMS Long Beach broadcast on ESPN2 as well. Will be interesting to see how they do a "LIVE" 2 hr 45 minute race in a 2 hour time slot, especially with the Charlatans at Michelin, Mobil 1, Porsche, Corvette, BMW, Dunlop, Falken and of course Tequila Patron trying to sell you stuff during the broadcast when they come back from commercial break.

Good news is Corvette didn't win Le Mans this year, so no more of those commercials...

In other words, just like any other sporting event on U.S television

Same goes for Nissan not finishing with DW, or winning LMP2... and I'd rather watch 1000 of those (admittely annoying) Corvette commercials in a row than listen through just one more Darren Cox interview...

Not only does Muscle Milk have a new livery for this round, but Klaus has changed his name to Bo, and Lucas changed his name to Luke. You know, they're just good ol' boys at heart!

Not at this time. Twitter is the easiest and fastest way we can do several contests to a broad audience, and usually last minute, as we get gifts from Porsche and the Series to use if they can't give them away. I definitely recommend getting twitter, even if it's just to use on race weekends to follow teams. Teams are tweeting things that sometimes even the broadcasting crew may not discuss.

Tried to get on the internet at the track to give you updates, but it's not working out so well. hope to see some of you at the track!

I'm hoping to see some decent times from the #20. Hopefully the Dempsey P2 can lap faster than the GT cars here. DHH is putting in some pretty competitive lap times.

Putting a larger restrictor on a car, without completely remapping and dyno testing an engine isn't going to yield much. The question being, have they done this, with a relatively small budget, and no real help from Lotus? I highly respect AJR racing, but this is an effort with too small of a budget to really compete with the big boys.
