"Was the Corvette Racing team reenacting the rental car derby scene from 'Days of Thunder' on Mid-Ohio's pit lane last Saturday," asks Marshall Pruett.

I've seen plenty of stupidity in my years as a race fan, but this was right up there at the top. Clearly the Corvette boys need some actual competition to keep them busy before they kill someone in the pits as they duke it out over some asinine sibling rivalry. Let's not forget, this came in the same race where the nasty fire in the de Ferran pit reminded us how dangerous pit lane can be even when the WWE stuff doesn't factor in.

Unfortunately it looks more likely that Corvette Racing will close up shop or the GT1 category will disappear entirely before any serious competition shows up, at least on the ALMS scene.
