Road America
It was a pretty stupid move by race control to go full course yellow with about 9 minutes left in the race on a 4 mile circuit. That car at the back of the gravel trap could easily have been left there with, at worst, a local yellow. It ruined what might have been a very interesting finish.

Yeah, that yellow was unnecessary. There was no blockage on the track and the driver of the affected car didn't need medical attention, a locl yellow would have been just fine.

I completely missed the race. I was getting ready to travel abroad on the Monday and I had a lot to prepare! I always enjoy Road America, too!

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
