    I saw that. Interesting schedule. A certain contingent of M/A folk will note there's still no Mid-Ohio.

    Yeah, I think a 2016 thread can wait until the 2015 schedule is exhausted. It'll be easy to post the schedule again. Who knows, maybe they'll tweak it by then anyway. Plus I guarantee there will now be a few weeks of people arguing about how you're supposed to abbreviate that new title.....

    I kind of had trouble with abbreviating it this year. TUSCC? USCC? IMSA? Tudor united (sound slike a soccer club)? Next year? Just IMSA or IMSA Weathertech, I guess.

    I kind of wonder about the CTSCC. That's also a "sports car" championship. But back in my childhood, we would have called it "showroom stock". Back then, you had IMSA Firehawk and SCCA Escort.

    Aren't the Run Offs at Mid Ohio next year. If they are I will be there since

    they left in 2003.

    Good to know the Secret Car Club of America is coming back to Mid-Ohio for the runoffs. Guess I'll be going to Mid-Ohio more than once next year. :D

    Don't forget, today's race at Road America starts at 3PM (E). Fox Sports 1 and, hopefully :fingerscrossed:, streaming on imsa.com.

    A good race today. If you didn't hang in there to watch the last few laps you missed out.

    Don't anyone tell me who wins. I've got it DVR'd, just got into the first half hour and I had to switch to watch the Dodgers. Looked like some "Extremely tight motor racing!" I'll pick it up in a couple hours...

    Here's the full race broadcast from Road America.

    I'm surprised to say I actually enjoyed the streaming version better but I think it's because the IMSA Radio guys (aka Radio LeMans announcers, not everyone's cup of tea) did a slightly better job of keeping track of everything going on in all the classes.

    Race cars get bent on occasion. That MINI will be as good as new by the weekend.

    The race was worth every penny for Bergmeister's stalking of the Ferrari over the last several laps. The inevitable happened several corners before the finish.

    good race weekend - it had all the ingredients of a "bigger" racing event. Action, stars, fast cars, crowds, girls, the smoke from the bratwurst concessions, etc - Road America at its best
