**SPOILER** Realtime TSX at Mid-Ohio, results inside!!!

Alright......TSX finally has a win. Matt Plumb took the win at Mid-Ohio today. Pierre Kleinubing finished 5th. Here's the results, http://www.world-challenge.com/2004/...c-results.html.

Don't forget to watch the race tomorrow at 12 noon Eastern time (9 am Pacific time) on Speed channel.

woohoo! congrats to the Realtime Team. I wonder if Plumb was purposely given the advantage to win by Realtime since his points standing is higher (as opposed to Kleinubing). Of course this is just speculation since I haven't watched the race :P

Is there anyone who can do a video capture the race? I have crappy cable tv service and I don't get speed channel :'(

I'm just curious, how do you draw the conclusion of what color the car originally was just by looking at the side mirror? I mean, if they painted the entire car, it's not too hard to paint the side mirror as well right? And doesn't it make more sense for them to start with a white TSX, since most of the car is white anyway?

The reason why they painted the side mirrors in different colors between PK's car and MP's car is to allow any TV narrator (commentator) to easily identify whoes car it is. It's a common practice among any race team with multiple cars. But it's not limited to only mirrors. It could be something else.

You're right vwong. Back when RealTime raced the ITR, they painted different colors on the front light.

“We had some electronic glitch or something,” Jonsson said describing why Plumb was able to get by him. “The engine just cut out for about three or four seconds. I had to recycle the fuel pump and the ignition and luckily it came back on. Luckily enough it was just Matt that was able to get by, because Bill and P.D. [Cunningham] were right there. It felt like we were five wide at one time. But, it worked out okay. I was able to get back up running and I tried to put as much pressure as possible on Matt.”

...Fortunately for us TSX fans the BMWs reliability permitted the opportunity to pass. Go BMW ! :P
