6 Hours at the Glen

Great save, right in front of us! We were on the right going up the Esses in the Glen Club watching this slide, incredible!

Acura-related news: Michael interviewed Katherine Legge yesterday morning for a piece that played before the race. In it he told her "you guys are going to win this thing" and they did! This is what he was saying to Andy Lally in the picture below



EDIT: That's Joe Sahlen in the red shirt shaking the winners' hands. His company is the long-time sponsor of the race ("Sahlen's) famous for their hot dogs.

Great photo. I hope you got sprayed with champagne. Or at least Gatorade.

Just looking at some of the photos from the race. Looks like half the cars had a July Fourth livery.

The Lexus cars were very distinctive, their blue was beautiful. Not so many others in the spirit to the moment

Always liked Katherine Legge, real ballsy UK driver.
When she had her massive crash when the rear wing failed on her CART car at Road America years ago, she was out of the medical center in a few minutes talking to reporters shrugging it off.
Even her team owner Jimmy Vasser was impressed with her attitude.
