Homer fix for Peugeot is in. :gomer:

[TrueBrit]

:shakehead

[Ziggy]

Nice link, thanks :thumbup:

[chop456]

Will Bourdais or Villeneuve wreck a 908 before it has a chance to blow up? :gomer:

Creation seriously slow so far. Must be the paint job.

[TrueBrit]

Track is still pretty dirty according to some of the drivers...and there's the possibility of rain tonight and tomorrow...and over the weekend as well....this could be VERY interesting...

[Ziggy]

this could be VERY interesting

Isn't it always?

[TrueBrit]

Not necessarily so when the same car/team wins 7 out of the last 8....;)

Bourdais----------> seriously impatient, will crash. Jack will grow tired of the whole venture in the early am, clutch the bitch, blame the car and catch a jet for his yacht.

Uh, no?

Why no Porsches in LMP2?

Awesome!!!:thumbup:

Man did they ever screw up the run down to the Esses from the Dunlop bridge...

[skidmarks]

Cause Penske sucks :confused: and Dyson can't afford the airfare? :thumdown:

[nissan gtp]

good stuff thanks for the links :thumbup:

[extramundane]

There's not much Dyson can't afford. Money ain't the issue.

I suspect you'll not see a P2 Porsche at Le Mans 'til they can get the things to finish a 12-hour race reliably.

[Hardpoint]

New Flying Lizard paint.

Flying Lizard team radiocast (http://www.lizardms.com/radio.htm)

[Warlock!]

I never quite figured out why the Flying Lizard logo looks more like the head of a snake...

Trippy new livery. :saywhat:

[Methanolandbrats]

I think it's supposed to be a demented fruit bat.

[Ziggy]

I have always been of the belief that any event that has this much heritage behind it is a pretty big deal. Yes, it is dumbed down, but not as bad as the Indy 500.

For me, Bourdais in a decent car is enough to raise my interest. I also think that the diesel tech. is very interesting.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Of course not. Why only let 48 cars run on an 8 mile track when you can fit 80 on a track half the size?

The worst thing about Le Mans is that it is run by the French.

[Cam]

Paff? Izzat you? :shakehead

You just can't make this stuff up. :eek: :shakehead :rofl:

Those bastards, when did they take it over? :mad:

[extramundane]

Of course not. Why only let 48 cars run on an 8 mile track when you can fit 80 on a track half the size?

Except that the LM field isn't limited to 48. But don't let facts get in the way. :thumbup:

[Methanolandbrats]

The France family should travel to France, buy the ACO and convert the race to Grand Am specs. That would touch off a stampede to buy affordable, ****box "sportscars" and the entry list would swell to at least 150 cars :thumbup:

[Ankf00]

question, do you ever tire of being the biggest ****tard alive?

[Sean O'Gorman]

And it would be an infinitely more exciting race than what it is under the ACO.

But, ooh, I can't wait to watch the "technology" parade around for 24 hours. Yay.

Pretty simple solution for that really, DON'T WATCH IT.

See? Wasn't that easy?

[Sean O'Gorman]

All I asked was why aren't more cars allowed since it is such a huge trakc, you guys turned it into an anti-Grand-Am thread, as usual.

[extramundane]

Now, now. If you don't stop picking on ,,,, Junior, he's going to hold his breath until the France Family starts an Auto-X sanction.

[extramundane]

Actually, it's turned into more of an Anti-SOG thread than an anti-Grand-Am thread. 'Course, we know who brought up GA in the first place, don't we?

Anyway: Field size limitations are due to pit/garage space, which has been expanded in the past couple years bring the field up to its current size of 55 (which, last I checked, is bigger than 48). Much more expansion would require a tremendous amount of earth-moving and probably some further butchery to the track.

[CART 500]

Good thing he had his matching drivers shoes on :)

[G.]

trying something new out...

There ya go, Jaime!

[Dirty Sanchez]

ahahaha, nice :laugh:

no, you peed your panties because of this:

Ya, it's not nearly as screwed up as most other racing series have become :thumbup:
in response to this:

just admit you have an inferiority complex regarding ACO racing. Makes your weenie feel small :gomer:


*says someone who cares little for ALMS or GA

[Cam]

There ya go, Jaime!

Why did he bother to put the handbrake on? :laugh:

[cameraman]

:rofl: (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kyMDNzhfwn0) <-------

Gotta wonder how much that cost to repair:rofl:

[Sean O'Gorman]

I have a friend who was at that autocross. Apparently the guy had the wrong size lug nuts on because you can see some of them still on it afterwards. I think the e-brake being pulled with no wheels on the car was the best part.

[Dirty Sanchez]

I have a friend...you can just stop right there, liar :p

[TrueBrit]

you can just stop right there, liar :p

:D :rofl: :laugh:

[Sean O'Gorman]

you can just stop right there, liar :p

Whatever, don't you hang out with Spicoli? :saywhat:

[Ankf00]

Whatever, don't you hang out with Spicoli? :saywhat:

Spickly buys top shelf. You can't.


:gomer:

[Sean O'Gorman]

Sorry, we all aren't on Lone Star budgets. :gomer:

[Ankf00]

Give me Lone Star, or give me death! http://www2.hornfans.com/wwwthreads/images/icons/texasflag.gif

[Sean O'Gorman]

Can you get that stuff in Ohio? My fridge is empty and I don't want to have to buy High Life. :p

[Ankf00]

I wish you well in your most noble quest. But I cannot aid you, as there's only BB Mojo, FS Session stubbies, and Odell Wheat in my fridge at present.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Ship me some plzkthxbai

[eiregosod]

don't have MotorsTV :cry: :cry: :cry:

Ya, and a guy like Matt Alhadeff could have a chance to win Le Mans. So now he could not only tell girls at bars in L.A that he is a race car driver, but now tell them that he is one of the best in the world. :laugh: :shakehead :yuck:

[opinionated ow]

go liz halliday...

[Andrew Longman]

trying something new out...

There ya go, Jaime!

Crap! Were there NO lugnuts on the car? Its actually hard to do that by accident.:rofl:

Surely trashed some rotors and undercarriage. No way to get a jack under the car either.

On topic, I will have LeMans on in the background this weekend while I work down the honeydo list.
