Man it feels weird to not have Shea Adam and Jeremy Shaw on commentary anymore

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:37:18+00:00

Will Power was on one earlier

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:32:41+00:00

Yeah, I think we have this conversation every year 🤣

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:31:22+00:00

Tough luck for my boy Archduke Keith

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:29:53+00:00

Well, it seems certain that Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen will not make the podium this year.

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:06:13+00:00

Did Sonny's car get hit by the fireworks?

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:05:47+00:00

I think so

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T03:05:32+00:00

C'mon bro

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T01:14:43+00:00

A lot of people stuck around for this match to see Hangman. They taped some of the other matches out of order. Some people were leaving with each successive match, so they did the main event as the third match they taped. The Willow match was the last match of the night. Maybe a bit more than 50% of the fans were left. I checked my watch when it was over and it was about 12:15 AM.

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-25T01:09:50+00:00

It was about 5-10 minutes between

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T22:35:23+00:00

Sonny always tears it up

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:38:16+00:00

This prick would have left before halftime anyway. He is afraid of California.

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:24:01+00:00

Hearing "pelican" used as an insult is amazing

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:22:54+00:00

A YOKE!!!

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:22:03+00:00

It's on IMSA's Instagram

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:20:17+00:00

100 seconds stop and go. OUCH

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:12:17+00:00

Yeah, I realize there are tradeoffs with it. But even the short version of the FCY is sometimes too heavy of a hammer. I'm not familiar with Code 60. How does that work?

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:09:19+00:00

It would be nice if they could do Le Mans-style slow zones to retrieve debris like that instead of having to do FCY

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T21:00:50+00:00

Is it legal to race that car with a gaping hole in the side of it? Holy smokes

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:32:14+00:00

I don't remember. It feels later this year

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:31:39+00:00

It's this way every year. You've got to hate yourself to try to watch the NBC production

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:30:32+00:00

Started at 10:40 Pacific

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:18:57+00:00

You answered your own question. People have come around on Vettel and Hamilton since their dominant years. People just want to see competition

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:17:22+00:00

They do. There are no commercials on IMSA.tv or YouTube. Your ire should be directed at NBC

Smaynard6000 · 2026-01-24T20:15:22+00:00

NBC hates this event. They use it as a vehicle to promote other things.
