Excellent. That would have been win number 2 if one of the Performance Nissans hadn't been rear-ended by the 2nd place Porsche a couple weeks ago.

Guys don't forget about the race at VIR in Oct. Looks like there will be a bunch of Z fans going to watch that race. Another good one will be at Barber in AL. the next weekend Oct. 9.

Great win for the 350Z. Boy that was some sorry coverage by SPEED. They show more yellow flag action than actual racing time. SPEED needs to get a clue. If it ain't NASCAR they cram the action into a 1 hr. time slot.

I agree. Speed knows how to chop up a good race.

Well, they somehow find it in their hearts to give WRC an hour and a half, or sometimes a whole TWO hours, but that's to cover an event that spans three days sometimes.

I agree that Speed needs to enhance their coverage of the grassroots racing scene!
