Au revoir to Montreal as Magnus Racing leaves with a fifth place
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 02:15PM 
August 30, 2010 (Salt Lake City, Calif.) – It was an up and down day in Montreal as the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche 911 GT3 of John Potter and Craig Stanton went from the back, to the front, to the back, and ultimately crossed the finish line in fifth position.
Debuting its “Magnus Racing, eh?” livery for the first time on the weekend, Potter took the green flag in tenth position, but the team gambled on track position to keep him out on track during an early yellow flag when most other cars went to the pits. As a result, Potter led the race overall under yellow and inherited the GT class lead. That, however, placed him perfectly in the middle of two spinning Daytona Prototypes on the restart, forcing him to take to the grass to avoid a collision.
Making it through that near-miss, Potter led the GT race for several laps before he spun entering turn two. He rejoined down the order and finished out his stint trouble-free until handing over to Stanton.
Stanton, cool as ever, jumped into the Magnus Racing Porsche in ninth and began making progress through the field. Over the final hour, he picked off several cars before catching the No. 70 Mazda RX-8 of Sylvain Tremblay, which was running fifth. Although Stanton could get around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve faster than Tremblay, he found making a pass difficult on the lightweight Mazda difficult. In the final minutes of the race, however, Stanton got the pass done and was running behind the fourth-placed Mazda and third-placed Camaro with an opportunity to move the Magnus Racing Porsche up to third. Ever the professional, Stanton elected to keep the nose of the Porsche clean and crossed the line in fifth place.
“I really wish I hadn’t spun the car around in turn two,” said Potter. “It was going really well and the car was fast. I was comfortable pushing things a bit to keep the Mazda behind – I guess I just pushed it a little too hard. We had a good weekend and nothing went wrong – other than my spin – and we’re excited to go to Miller for the finale.”
After a completely frustrating weekend in Watkins Glen two weeks ago, when the team was mystified by tire and braking problems throughout the race, leading in Montreal before finishing fifth was a big boost for the drivers and team as they now only have the finale at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, remaining in the 2010 season. Magnus Racing happens to be based in Salt Lake City, and Potter makes his home there, making the Miller race a big one for the team.
“What a great weekend for the team,” said Stanton after the race. “We ran strong and fast and led for a while, and it was great for us to get a good, solid weekend underneath us. The guys did great and it was fun to see John lead a race for the first time. Now we’ve got some momentum on our side and we can finish strong at John’s home race at Miller Motorsports Park next month.”
The final race of the 2010 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series weekend will be the Utah 250, October 10-11, at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. Potter and Stanton will be aiming to finish Magnus Racing’s inaugural season on a high note, while Potter will team with Leh Keen for the final Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race in the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche Cayman. The Utah 250 will be broadcast live on SPEED on October 11 at 2:00 PM ET.

I agree it wouldn't be a disaster to lose 5 live. Discount Uggs However, when BBC announced the deal in July they said Women Uggs On Sale it wouldn't impact their radio coverage, so the confusion over 5 Uggs 2011 live now would suggest either BBC were telling porkies in July, or that Bernie is getting Discount Uggs Online worried. Personally I think the latter, his Cheap UGGs For Sale comments seem to be more and more inconsistent. I know it might just be a tiny crack in the deal, but if enough cracks appear....
I may be Replica Ugg Boots naive, but I don't think it's a done deal until the final contract is signed, especially as both Bernie and BBC have done pretty big Women Uggs On Sale u-turns in the past.
"There is a problem in that the BBC are only going to be doing half the races now and Ugg Sale UK they will inevitably spend Replica Ugg Boots less money on them. Hypothetically, Discount UGGs Boots their coverage will not be Ugg Outlet as good, which is a great pity."
It is not only the fans and his fellow Ugg Boots On Sale broadcasters at the BBC that Walker is worried about, however, with the sport in Discount Uggs Online general also in danger of suffering from the deal to allow a 'pay per view' channel Cheap UGGs to gain a foothold.
<p>10 years ago, when the United States launched the war in Iraq, the U.S. government estimated the cost of the war is about 50000000000-60000000000 U.S. dollars. After 10 years, Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies released a set of the latest research data, to the war to provide a more scientific, <a href="http://www.snapbackshatforsale.com/"><strong>Era Caps Wholesale</strong></a> fine cost: $ 20,002 billion, and approximately 190,000 victims.</p>
<p>The United States to participate in the study at Brown University anthropologist Catherine Lutz explained in an interview with this reporter, said U.S. soldiers killed nearly 4,500 people, according to their statistics,<a href="http://www.snapbackshatforsale.com/" target="_blank">Cheap Snap backs</a> about 3400, the employees of the the various contracting company providing services for the U.S. military The people, the victims of poverty which is as high as about 130,004 people. She emphasized that the number of victims, in particular, is the number of people killed by the Iraqi poor statistics it is difficult, but everyone should be a record, "the cost of war often are underestimated, or do not have statistics, even concealed very few people know the scale of the casualties, the military, or poor appetite consideration are not the same, the families of fallen soldiers, the families of the employees of the contractor, the Iraqi people, they afford is huge, so we must try these circumstances fully presented, so that we know how much the cost of war. "</p>
<p>Indeed, President George W. Bush to declare war on Iraq in 2003, from the White House to the ordinary people in the whole country that the United States can in a short period of time with little cost to overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime, to complete the desired strategic objectives, this estimate The war cost about $ 50 billion or so, Brown University Watson Institute for International Studies is the latest of more than one trillion U.S. dollars, almost 44 times the original budget spending! Harvard economist Linda Bill Max, these two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, a great drain on the financial resources of the United States, that U.S. government was powerless in the face of the global economic crisis, "At this time, I think we should be The question to ask is: if not the decision to invade Iraq, then we will be mired in Afghanistan it? oil prices will be so high you? we have such a huge national debt? financial crisis will be less severe this? I think an indisputable answer these four questions are whether. "</p>
<p>However, the cost of war and not just the U.S. government
<a href="http://www.snapbackshatforsale.com/">Era Hats For Sale</a>
put in large sums of money, there was never healing wounds.</p>
<p>It is used on the battlefields of Iraq veterans Ray Dawson wrote and sung a rap song, the song sings, "My thoughts are tossing and turning does not know exactly what went wrong, the dead of night when I feel in their own like a stranger at home, I just go out a trip but found no longer as before, and his family is so intimate friendship ". Song repeated questioning and shouting: "how do I? Got PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), those pills do not work, I can not think!"</p>
<p>Yes, the United States launched the war in Afghanistan and the Iraq war let PTSD esoteric medical term is known as a popular word in American society, is a nightmare of American society. The October 2012 report of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics for treatment, nearly 85 million veterans took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, nearly 30 percent of people diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, the latest war cost assessment report released last week by the Brown University Watson Institute for International Studies, believes that the U.S. government
<a href="http://www.snapbackshatforsale.com">snapbackshatforsale.com</a> for Iraq war veterans' benefits and expenses of nearly $ 50 million. Brown University anthropologist Professor Lutz pointed out, the future is still a huge amount of overhead for Veterans digital, "I think that the existence of such an understanding on the error, for the war that people often military withdrawal does not mean an end to the war, those trauma caused by war: the casualties and damage to infrastructure, its impact will last for decades in the United States, for example, many officers and men wounded in the war, both mental and physical trauma , the federal government will pay tens of millions of dollars in health care and pension costs, According to our research report, may be continued after 2050. "</p>
<p>Paid such a heavy price, and for the American people continue to pay in this bitter experience, a strong appeal to draw lessons from history. Boston University professor Andrew Barcelona Popovich said on the website of the "cost of war", the things of the past life, a guide for the future, "we should learn from the experience of the past 10 years, and to ensure that no longer make the same mistake in the future."</p>
