I'll be a 24 hour couch potato. My goal is to someday take part in this race. Hey, I did the 25 of Thunderhill, I can do this one too! ;)

At least this year, they're not stopping coverage in the middle of the night for infomercials... A big complaint I had from a few years ago. They stopped coverage at 4 am for 2 hours of infomercials. :rolleyes:

All in all, next weekend is a wasted weekend.... In a good way. :thumbup:

Yeah, Sean, that's what the car was built for. I was the only Mini on track, though. They're trying to promote the series on the West Coast and the car owner wanted it run this weekend. They called me Friday at 4:00 and I was more than happy to oblige ;) . The car's set up for lift throttle oversteer, and it's quite fun to drive. It'd be a blast with 20 of them together, but they'll be so equal they'll HAVE to allow some contact, so no 13/13 rules.

[Steve99]

The battle for GTS should be good this year. I was planning on watching a bunch of the race this weekend, but just realized I have relatives coming to town. :cry:

What is Sebastian Bourdais driving?

Wow, the Corvettes will be fighting a lot of Ferraris in GTS!

Will the PESCAROLO be able to fight for best-of-the-rest in LM1? I don't know anything about that car.

[RacinM3]

Don't know about SeaBass's car, but as you know, if you don't have an Audi.......

I expect the Corvettes to show well against the Ferraris....but I believe the 575's are factory cars.

Think a Porsche might win GT?? :gomer:
