Got it to work. I am using the new IE9 and a setting in there was blocking it: ActiveX Filter.

Watching now.

Hey, this race is being sponsored by Corvette! Maybe that means they will actually get some coverage.

Two hours into race, Long in Lizard Porsche 045 hits bump then hits Magnussen in C6.R 04 (who was 2nd in GT), both spin and van Overbeek in F458 hits right rear of C6.R. F458 goes airborne then backwards into wall with heavy damage. 04 C6.R comes into pits too early in caution for repairs, gets penalty. Long gets penalty for avoidable contact. Doesn't look good for 04. Mags can't get a break with those dang Lizards.

Three hours into race, C6.R 03 (Milner up) runs 5th in GT. BMW M3 55 (Auberlen aboard) leads GT, with M3 56 (Hand in) in 2nd, F458 062 (Vilander up) in 3rd and F430 51 (Fisichella aboard) in 4th.

Overall, Peugeot 908s run 1st and 2nd. They are fast. They lapped the GT leaders in the first 17 minutes of the race.

It was the other way around. ALMS lost Speed coverage. Probably couldn't pay enough to get it covered. That is why its on the internet and delayed broadcast on ABC. Don't want to interfere with sports venues that are profitable for the broadcast companies.

my cable provider is not on the list for ESPN3, so I have to use the live scoring. Here's the link if anyone else wants to follow it
