Just got back from the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and had a great time this year!

Indycar, Indy Lights, ISMA Tudor United Sportscar Championship, Pirelli World Challenge, Formula Drift, and Stadium Super Trucks were all the different series racing here this weekend.

What a great weekend of racing! MotoGP at Austin, IndyCar and sports cars in Long a Beach, NASCAR at Darlington - it was a great couple of days for motorsports. :rockon

The Indycar race was very exciting near the end. Yellow flag and pace car out till there were 17 laps remaining so a nicely bunched up field would sprint to the end (instantly made me think of the last F1 race where they had a 10 lap sprint to the finsh).

Tragedy struck when there was an accident right at the front of the pack taking out the top 3 cars causing the pace car to come back out until 10 laps remained for the final sprint to the finish!

Attempting to pass every chance they could, putting lots of pressure on Dixon in the lead there is some very exciting racing! 2 laps to go and the Dixon in first runs out of gas and has to pit, a shocker to everyone watching!

Needless to say it was very exciting racing standing on the edge of our seats for the end of the race.
