    ...but the pauses every couple minutes were really annoying. I really wish they would get the buffering to work correctly....

    Did the ESPN3 thing... It was nice to have the live race coverage but the pauses in video and the frequent low-quality video was unimpressive....

    Since it's my only option for live unless ABC hosts live it'll have to do.

    I didn't have any feed pauses/interruptions. Must have to do with connection speeds.

    I used to work the last turn before the front straight back in the '80s. Coming down that back stretch, it sounded like gunfire when the tires hit the expansion joints. Funny thing is, when anyone mentions "fixing" that, everyone yells "NO!" It is a rite of passage at this point, and part of the Sebring experience.

    That last turn is also one of the trickiest. Hit it wrong, and there is no telling what will happen. We had cars in the wall, cars on their lids, and cars facing oncoming traffic all the time. It was a cool place to watch from. :Thumbsup:
