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.

That's because in American racing, there is no such thing as a local yellow ;p

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!
