No Quarter Given by Corvettes at Mid-Ohio ALMS 7/20

Win goes to the # 3 team of O'Connell and Magnussen, but both teams had to sit thru a penalty box time-out (twice!)
"The sibling rivalry between the sister Corvettes produced a shoving match as the cars emerged from the pits after their final stops. The Corvettes had entered their respective pit stalls nose-to-tail just before the two-hour mark, and left simultaneously with O'Connell in the No. 3 and Beretta in the No. 4. As the drivers jockeyed for position, they failed to heed a red flag at the pit exit and both were subsequently summoned to the penalty box.

"We are a very competitive group," said O'Connell after tallying his 33rd career ALMS victory. "Both cars left at the same time and it was like the Hatfields and McCoys for a moment with two guys arguing for the same area of road. It was just two great race cars today running in very difficult conditions."

Next race is at Road America, Elkhart Lake ... followed by the NCM HPDE ... great 5 days for the fortunate able to take in the entire weekend. Expect some more exposure of the ZR1 at the HPDE.

I got to see it. Nice driving be the Corvette team (both cars). They looked very good out there.

The P2 competition was awesome also.
