PILOTJPW1 GT Owner Mark IV Lifetime Sep 22, 2005 910 Maryland Mar 19, 2016 #30 Those Vette drivers are good. Quite the save to miss that Lamborghini in the rain and spin it before the wall. Good race until the flood I'm afraid.

dbk Admin Staff member Le Mans 2010 Supporter Jul 30, 2005 15,238 Metro Detroit Mar 19, 2016 #38 Looks like it might be able to be fixed, but no repairs until red flag is over.
