Good day for Tonis, pole for Race 2. Kyle Kelley alongside and might actually win in the car that Danica couldn't win in.

I'm still hoping Legge will get a Champ Car ride (hopefully before the seasons out) and put Champ Car in the news! You just don't know what tenth means! :)

You know Americans would only want to see an American. I nominate Bob Siska. :laugh:

Is Bob a girl, cuz we only like girls. :)

During the Le Mans telecast the Autosport radio folks fielded an e-mail question from the states as to why Dyson wasn't at the 24 Hours (and their answer never brought up Portland...only that they'd done Grand-Am the week before at the Glen and so they "do recreational racing" along with ALMS).

So...why ARE Chris and co. in Portland this weekend specifically and not at Le Mans?

[pchall]

Check out Legge's unDanica performance in Portland 2.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Check out Legge's unDanica performance in Portland 2.

4th place withou being a contender for the win? Seems rather Danicaesque to me. ;)

[nrc]

Moving up from 10th to 4th on the track with no pitstops is a pretty good performance by any measure. She may not have caught Tonis today, but she was the second fastest car on the track according to timing.

Kelly was disqualified after tech inspection so Legge is classified 3rd.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Hmm, maybe I should've read more into the results. :o

I'll leave woman-hater Cork to do the Katherine bashing.

[FCYTravis]

Re: Chris Dyson,

Because if you can't get a ride in an Audi, why bother running P1?

Plus, this gives him some good practice for the ALMS race at Portland.

Oh yeah, and Chris just likes the competition in Atlantics... he may not have been the fastest but he had a badass scrap with Al Unser III.

Tonis emptied his champagne bottle on me in Victory Lane :D

Paying attention to T&S helps a lot.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Wasn't home, I was paying attention to my own mediocre T&S-related results. ;)

[Dr. Corkski]

4th place withou being a contender for the win? Seems rather Danicaesque to me. ;)Exactly, people would rather spend more time talking about someone who finished 10th and 4th in a doubleheader, than the guy who WON (a key word that no longer seem to matter much now that Danica II hasn't been doing that) both races, who probably has a far better story than Danica II. :gomer:

[SpeedQueen]

Tonis emptied his champagne bottle on me in Victory Lane :D

I wondered why he ran off of the podium !? Downloading a ton of images for his site & noticed... your 'bath' !

Hey Mr. O'Gorman ? You were right about TK ! Nice to see him finally get Hooked-UP :cool: What a weekend...

[Napoleon]

Hey Mr. O'Gorman ?

Mr. ?????? Isn't that a term of respect?

;)

[Sean O'Gorman]

Hey Mr. O'Gorman ? You were right about TK !

Great, the first time a woman ever agrees with me on ANYTHING, and I don't even remember what it was I said in the first place. :laugh: :confused:

[SpeedQueen]

LOL. Iirc; you said... things to the effect of, 'Kasemets is the real deal, hope he gets a shot', etc. You know his history, etc. The crap he's fought through to get it right.
And we appreciate it all. Hope he made you proud of your support ?
Many times, it's felt like us against the world, as some try to say "he's too old", blah blah. He's in his prime & going nowhere but UP. I'm still betting everything I have on it & thank you for your kind words over the past months/2 years.

If you want me to find the past threads in the various forums ? I will, in about a week & a half. A bit busy right now ;)

Will I finally meet you in Cleveland ? :D

[Easy]

So...why ARE Chris and co. in Portland this weekend specifically and not at Le Mans?

They didn't get an entry from the ACO.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Will I finally meet you in Cleveland ? :D

No, see At the Track thread for Cleveland. Slight possibility that I might try Toronto but I really can't afford it.

[Anteater]

Check out Legge's unDanica performance in Portland 2.

It was so cool when she passed Martinez in Turn 11!

Anyone know WHY Kyle was DQ'd after the inspection ? He is driving Danica's car from last year.... I know he is with a "green" team, but he drives the wheels off that car.... He's only 19 and is working hard to get good results on the West Coast races.... if anyone knows, please advise !

Thanks !

Thanks !Must be because he was born with a Y chromosome. They seem to be unpopular among the Atlantic supporters nowdays. :gomer:

Corkscrewed -

ye of little faith..... I know you know better than that !!!!

Surely, you jest... I know MacAtee Motorsports is a brand new team to Atlantics and had some "issues" at LBGP. I was just stoked to see Kyle on the podium one minute, and then hear that he was DQ'd later....

You think it was all so that Danica II could get back onto the spotlight ?

your cynicism is getting worse in your "old age".... :D
