Just finished capturing that final race, it is encoding right now and should have it uploaded in about 30 minutes.
After watching the race a few times, I can pretty confidently say that nothing looked intentional whatsoever. I think the post-race debate is far more heated than the race itself was... haha
On the final hit where Marc pulled the car, Marc came in too hard under Hara and could not brake in time, whereas Hara was simply running his line and closing the door on the would-be pass. As Hara was on the jets and Marc was still braking when the contact was made, Hara's car held its line and Marc's got spun, then he got T-boned from behind and pulled it.
The race was actually decided much earlier when the two collided in the sweeper and Barry and Hupo got by again when Marc waited for Hara. Even without the later incident, Hara was not gonna catch them unless they screwed up, but both Barry and Hupo were flawless from that point forward. Marc got the overall win and Hara finished a very respectable second, and although I know winning is everything, I don't think one person at the track would disagree that Hara deserved a win just as much as Marc. Both were nearly flawless all weekend long...but somebody's gotta win.

Invite Race 32 video:
http://www.ampdraw.com/video/2006ree...ite32_divx.avi
This is about a 58MB download, so right click and save as to view it. The file is screwed up, and jumps around a bit later on; I didn't have the time to do a proper encode tonight, I'll redo it tomorrow. It's uploading as I type this so if you try to download it right this moment, you won't get the whole thing.
Also, this requires DivX (www.divx.com) if you don't already have the codec installed.
Hope this entertains someone.

Of course this is Marc's fault. We are not just friends racing around the parking lot. There is a lot of money at stake for drivers and sponsors. "Gentlemen's" agreements will not work and in my opinion should never be made.
