I watched almost the entire race (happiness is finally
getting Speedvision). The car did very well and
I would have enjoyed the coverage even more if
they had provided addional coverage of their
effort.
One negative comment on the speedvision coverage
has to do with the ongoing race results. All they
ever showed was position in class or overall without
any refernece to a car being N seconds behind the
leader...or, in the case of cars not on the same lap,
the number of laps down a car was in relation to
the leader.
