The grand am cup, which I believe is the only racing series the '05 mustang races in, had an untelevised race yesterday: Miller Grand Am Cup 200, in Santo Domingo. We had the lead three times at my count, but finished the race in third and fourth position. There was a yellow caution around pit-time that messed up a few teams, and there was also a power outage to the score boards that brought out a pace car. You can check out the final standings here:

It's the first season for us obviously (and by us I mean '05 stang fans), and I think we did pretty well considering it was our second race total, and first race on a real twisty track. I think this is definately a series we can own.

 

I watched that race and it was cool. I was shocked when the cammer lost its hood, even with 4 hood pins installed.

 

What channel did you see it on? I thought it was untelevised? Well, at least the website didn't list a channel...

EDIT: I think you are talking about the Daytona race on Feb 4th. The hood did fly off of the cammer car in that race. The news story about that is here:

And here is a picture:

 

Did it lose it's hood again or were you watching the last race (Daytona) which recently aired on SPEED channel?

 

They just wanted to show of the cammer

 

If find it kind of ironic b/c I watched the first race and the commentators were talking a lot about how the stang might have a slight disadvantage in handling over the BMW's in the next race on a tighter course. Nevertheless, I think the 05's have really done a good job thus far by coming out strong in proving they could hang with Porsche's and BMW's. It definitely gives them something to worry about.

 

I'm going to move this topic to "Ford & Mustang Motorsports"

I wished these races were Televised "live".

 

smack me silly, I was talking about Daytona. Sorry.

 

 

aww man, that stinks -_-
I was hoping for another first place finish

 

Well I'll be...

Due to the power outage in the middle of the race, there was some official tallying to be done afterward and the multimatic mustang now is placed 2nd! You can read the article about the race here:
