Farce?! I'd pay good money to see a race like this any day of the week. Had far more 
going for it than any of the ludicrous rabbit-5Ks they staged on the GP Circuit this 
year. This is the essence of REAL racing; see who blinks first.

Anybody who thinks times have to be fast for a race to be meaningful don't appreciate 
the sport to the fullest.
