Those AWD cars are always sick to watch on a standing start.. BAM and they instantly pull ahead!

Maybe thats why Lou was praticing on a drag strip with his track cars a before...

Yup a sweet 1,2 for the caddys. The pole sitter (Italian guy) lost the lead the the AWD audi RS6 at the start (pretty much everyone expected that), but was able to get around him w/o too much difficulty. The second CTS stalled on the grid after the cutch started to engage (heat soak). He came from the very back of the field to catch the lead 4 cars (CTS-V, Audi RS6, Z06 and Viper Comp Coupe), sliced though the 3 other cars and crusied home behind the other caddy. BTW he was lapping 3-4 full seconds a lap faster than the ENTIRE field for pretty much the whole race.

Somehow I think that they will have their performance 'adjusted', beyond the winners penalty weight, to level the field.
