Can you believe how close the top ten are? This should be a good race.

Just got done watching. Kleinubing cruises to victory, but what an awesome battle between Pobst and Cunningham for most of the race. That was just plain old good racing. Lots of good battles throughout that race.

Gah, I thought it was a repeat of St. Petersburg so I didn't tape it.

I don't see the need for a spoiler title when the race was aired live.

I think that car is actually about 3 or 4 years old. Its sometimes hard to keep track of them, but I'm pretty sure thats Hemmingson's old OPM car.

Thats a big-time result in an older car. One that has been crashed quite a few times. Great performance!!!

Race has already aired. Quit whining about spoilers.
Damn. Thats just silly.

Scott, who watched Cunningham and that pimpy TSX get ALL he could handle from a guy in a 2002 hand-me-down Protege.
Now THAT gets a "woot woot."

I don't see the need to post results in the title.

If I haven't watched the race then I won't click on a thread about the race, spoiler title or not. But to post results in the title just sucks. Some of us may have recorded the race to watch when we got home.

Then why don't you watch the race before coming on to H-T.

The rest of the world doesn't need to put their discussion of the race on hold until you are good and ready to watch the race.

Yup, OPM, then Baxter/Foo, then Tindol. Willard and I have wrenched on it...so, it's a wonder it even runs!
