There. I've complained about something, too.

I think they should have been purple and gold, but that's just me!

OMG, that would be awful, but not surprising based on how those series have gone this year.

Just a lot of wrecked flowers, the fountain doesn't really have a pool, it's a massive blue cone that water runs down.

The #10 made that pass look easy.

I noticed that too. Taylor was OFF pit lane and on the throttle pulling on his.

Don't like that one bit.

JT knows how to get it done.

Great driver, great personality.

Any series would be lucky to have someone like him.

Barf.

I wish this race was at least 10 minutes longer as it would have forced the prototypes to have to pit twice and would have allowed at least a bit more strategy.

And it was either Taylor or Garcia who was trying to get their right shoulder strap in the correct position before tightening!

tux · 19 Apr 2015, 00:08 (Ref:3528676)

Kaffer has gone.

Scott Pruett makes me sick!!!

I had that same thought, the DP's have ridiculous fuel economy. Same thing happened last year. They could always go further than the P2's. For a series so bent on balancing the competitors this is a major glaring deficiency.

What??? That never happens in this series!

Oh and Pruett just got a "hi to my family at home" in.

fieldodreams79 · 19 Apr 2015, 00:13 (Ref:3528679)

Wait. This is a California race and Scott's family is still at home? They must hate life on the road with him.

Why?

Saying hi to his family is nice I think. or do you have another reason?

Yeah, and the series won't ever do something about it until a driver kills himself or someone else.

jasonjessica09 · 19 Apr 2015, 00:15 (Ref:3528683)

The visual coverage of the race sucks. WAAAYYY too many onboards.

This race should have been 2:45 and somewhere else.

Still enjoying it. How can you not like anything hammering it down Shoreline, full throttle?

I thought Scott could afford to hire some Mexicans for that.

Ahhh right, when someone goes to commercial we get onboards.

Aston Martin still leading Risi and AF Corse in the green energy challenge

They are probably showing onboards, which i personally really like, during what will be commercial breaks on the FOX replay show.
