    Actually, sometimes it doesn't! Check out this vid from the end of the Laguna ALMS GT2 race. Not sure if it shows the pass by the Vette that precluded it all....but, it's a keeper if you have it on the DVR>

    You missed the laps leading up to it. The Vette pulled off an amzing pass down PIT lane, then back onto the track proper that the stewards made him give back. And there was plenty of rubbing preceding what you saw. And the punt by the Vette on the 911 entering the straight.

    After watching that race, I thought, "Jeez, that's outa control!" But who to assgn blame to? I couldn't decide. Evidently IMSA agrees, and has put both drivers on probation.

    I suppose but would you classify a tap in the rear with a run you into the wal move as equivalent? Glad I dont have to make calls on stuff like that.
