After thinking about it, I have come to find the errors are the race. Watching drivers/riders put down perfect laps, start to finish is quite boring. We could just let a AI sim do that. The errors on the track or in the pit and how it it is overcome (or not ) is what makes it a human drama.
Had a good time, weather was pretty good for the whole long weekend. The crowd was pretty unbelievable, the "good old days" of sports car racing seem to be back. I haven't seen this since the original "good old days". My understanding is that the prices of "lots" in the infield has soared though. That was never a thing in the original "good old days". That may eventually sour a few fans, we'll see. Not talking about the track raising prices (which they are on a lot of stuff), but people re-selling their "spots". Getting like hockey season tickets up nawth.
Could it be that those who are benefiting from the financialization of the economy are doing great? (Those of us in the "stuff" economy, less well.)
Yep...congrats on your 23 hour and 58 minutes win. I don't think the outcome would have changed but it's a 24 hours race not almost 24 hours.
Just a few from the weekend Is it weird that talking to Nate Kern about the BMW M1000RR on display is the favorite part of my weekend? CORVETTE GARAGE SALE MURICA! 800 HP
Thanks for the photos, I was home sick so I watched a lot of the race. The Caddy cut the gap down to .5 sec in the closing laps, but with 2 to go the GT cars came right down to the apex in the infield and spoiled his run. I think the Porsche would have had to make a mistake anyway, .5 sec is alot. One of them was the green Porsche 911 GTD so they were speculating of course that it was "factory orders".
