Here's some shots of the 3 CTS-V's before the race last Sunday at Laguna Seca. Great performance by all three drivers. After being hit and getting knocked out at the beginning of the race, Angelelli drove all the way up from the back of the pack to the #3 position before the race ended. The announcer was going wild about it. Great duel for several laps between Tommy Archer and his Viper and Johnny O'Connell in the CTS-V before O'Connell had to pit with a problem. The V's had some rough breaks in the early part of the race that knocked them to the pits, but came back to finish 3rd, 8th and 12th...

I'm going to watch this on speed tomorrow. Even though I know the results, these races are still awesome to watch. Was this the last race of the season? If so, how did Cadillac end up in the team standings?

Cadillac ended up 3rd in Manufacturer's points, with Porsche taking first and Dodge second.
With all the accusations that the Corvettes were blocking for the Cadillacs at Laguna last year, the collisions this year smelled of payback.

Who bumped into Max anyways? I'm not surprised they finished third since they were restricted all season. It was nice to see Andy win at Atlanta.
I was able to see them at our new track in Utah. They ran real good considering it was 105 degrees. |

someone has to be able to duplicate that intake system, it looks like the hood can retain its shape and closing ability somehow. |
