May and June are long months this year for ALMS fans. So what do we do, we relive great race moments, like this breathtaking final lap battle for GT2 victory in Sebring 2007. Just as the #2 Audi R10 takes the checkers for Audi Sport the real battle begins. After 12 hours of connecting apexes it comes down to an Italian and a German, car that is. If you’re a little ADD, like myself, skip to 3:05 and hang on to your seat. Ed una bella vittoria
Extra Crispy; or Why Nomex is Your Friend
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not a carnage freak, promoting vicious crash vids like a psychotic maniac. I just love anything that illustrates how dangerous racing can be, especially if it has a happy ending. Live life; taste death, I always say.
What IS amazing is that these otherwise horrific crashes and fires would be life ending if it wasn't for well-constructed cages, fuel cells, NOMEX, and of course skilled corner workers.
Next time your on the track, wave a "thank you" to your corner workers. They truly are the unsung heroes of our beloved sport.

News flash: Your job sucks...
Your job blows. Now these guys? Awesome job.
Funny how my high school guidance counselor never offered this option. BMW test driver and porn star were oddly missing from the career path flowchart. Bastards.

Just a quick little in-car video of Michael Essa's Z4 drift weapon.
Looks like he's been busy this winter!
