[tbsviper]

Alms coverage on and off during the race. Speed channel had it 10:30-noon, then Bristol, alms again at 1. Good racing!

 

[Canadian Snake]

Great racing! The Viper roof cam is really cool and what a great sound!!
Go Team Viper!

 

[JAY]

Great seeing they're back in the Game ! Looking forward to ALMS at Mosport !!!

 

[Warren S]

Go Viper Go!!!

 

[WOT!]

Did you see the SRT commercial? The Viper plays the lead role. Nice to see the car on tv again.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Viper in lead in GT so far and almost halfway thru. Vette guys not happy this time with multiple problems on both cars.

 

[TowDawg]

Vipers in first and last. The one in last had to come in for "drive pine issues" (at least I think that's what they said). They also said they were worried about having to fix them on the lead car as well. What is a "drive pin"? It seems like one could be used a lot of places on the car. Anyone know exactly what they are talking about?

 

[Paul Scharf]

pins that held the left rear wheel in place broke off

 

[TowDawg]

****! That's no good! They were talking about that it might be an inherent problem. If that's the case, I wonder why it didn't pop up last year.

 

[Torquemonster06]

So far so good. I have to wait till tonight to see the second part of the race. GO SRT.

 

[Fatboy 18]

Oh No, Electrical Gremlins on the 91 car

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Viper had the fastest lap time of the class.

I'd like to thank SRT for doing such a great job providing VIP treatment those Viper and SRT owners in attendence. I greatly, GREATLY appreciated it!!! Thank you and thanks to the N. & Central FL club officers for working on it.

BIG +1 to SRT for a job well done.

 

[slitherv10]

what place did they come in...any results from anyone?

 

[InjectTheVenom]

5th and last.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I heard they had a traction control problem. Imagine that.

 

[MTGTS]

5th and last.

5th and 10th. A corvette retired and a Ferrari wrecked so the 93 finished ahead of both of those cars.

 

[InjectTheVenom]

I stand corrected, went to sleep with about 5 hours left on the clock (living in Europe) and the ALMS online feed was not live but time delayed for some reason (broadcast feed was out of sync with the onboard cam of #91)

 

[Steve-Indy]

Sebring is a grueling event...can literally destroy a car (as can the 24 hr. of Daytona) !! As I recall from the IMSA days in the 1970's, we had to nearly rebuild cars after each of these races. I'm happy to see that they did as well as they did at this point of development !!

 

[GTLaser]

I don't care where they placed, they created a major threat to everyone that's all that matters!!!! Be afraid, be very afraid the SNAKE is back!!!! Awesome race, BIG props to SRT!!!!

Agreed, I'm sure ALL the GT teams noticed what cars were consistently turning the fastest laps the entire race. I believe each car passed each of the eventual podium cars at least once.

 

[ViperGTS]

I heard they had a traction control problem. Imagine that.

There were times when race cars did not need TC...is that mandatory too?

No, but it certainly helps them. Much more sophisticated then street car versions, outlawed in some series (NASCAR for one).


Vipers looked good, especially the 91. They will be very competitive this season!!!!!

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

outlawed in some series (NASCAR for one).

And Formula One.

 

[FrankBarba]

Congratulations SRT for a great showing.....

 

[FinalEd357]

I love that Viper is back at racing!

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Ahhh, Corvette won again in GT. Guess we need another year of testing.
