Anyone watching the Grand Am race and see those guys bend back that suspension A-arm using a pipe and then send the car back out???? The piece was obviously flattened out from the bend and then even worse once they bent it back, even Dorsey Shroder announcing said "are these guys crazy???"

I hope that thing doesnt fail at 160mph in the high banks and kill someone... :rolleyes:

hahahahaha and Scott Pruett just pulled an IRL and tried to leave the pits with the fuel hose still attached!!

I saw Max cry and I'm still kinda choked up myself.

Quick quiz:

Which looks fatter?

So, I see you guys ARE watching Grand-Am. :laugh:

Grand-Am rules, the fact that so many new teams signed up 2005 and are actually hiring drivers (Memo), and not asking for money proves something. ;)

BTW, the Cali-Speed way race was awesome. Papis Champion, young Tom Milner wins his first GT race, another young up-and-coming star, Harrison Brix, won his first Grand-Am race aswell. :cool:

Oh I actually like to watch Grand AM, they have decent drivers, I know a few guys that run GT and SGS so I cheer them on, the DP's kinda suck because tey arent very Prototypical and are pretty ugly, however they are decently fast and affordable, and put on a decent show where we dont have Schumacheresque domination.

However that suspension repair was utter stupidity, if I was the driver and I saw my crew bend that back like that with the metal pinched I would beat them with my steering wheel.

I just tuned in in hopes of seeing Cheep do his shriner clown imitation.

I'm glad I missed all that. My Grand Am viewing time is sticking at about fifteen minutes. Still haven't heard or seen anything that make me think this is really sportscar racing.
