Only half day today and only Continental Tire Challenge and Ferrari Challenge practice sessions.

Tomorrow at 0935, the Tudor cars come out for the first time this week.

Some shots from the two Continental Tire Challenge sessions:

























Some of the shots are a little out of focus.  Sorry.

Sorry about all the Caymans but I am kinda biased since I got mine last October.

I used to get pt passes to this race every year, one of my best friend's dad is good friends with Hurley Haywood. I sat with his pit crew in 2004 when it was freezing cold and pouring rain at 2am, and really got to understand why those races were so hard to win. I also met Paul Newman in the pit that year, was a cool moment bs'ing with him.

Well, rain is supposed to move in tomorrow, just in time for the Continental Tire Challenge race.  They are crazy enough in the dry.

The 60 car, a Honda Ligier fielded by Michael Shanks team took pole for the race.  The two Ganassi Crawford Ford 3.5 V6 twin turbo DPs were second and third.

I am going to see how apeshit the Tudor officials go since one of their precious POS so-called "Corvette DPs" didn't get into the top 3.

Anyway, shots from today.









































































Hitting the sack now.  Gotta be back at 0800.  Just got back to the hotel.  We did night practice and didn't get out of there until about 2100.

Indeed.  If it doesn't get wiped out or has mechanical issues, it should do well.

When it is running, it is as fast as the leaders, not sure what you mean there.  It was fighting for 4th before it blew up.

I had no idea we had fox sports 2. So now there won't be a 4 hour loss for me.

Fox doesn't invest in racing anymore.  One reason speed channel went extinct.  Sucks.

Oh well it was a short cut out. Back on fs2

their handling of it makes me wonder if they lost F1 coverage instead of re-upping the contract.

I'm watching on IMSA.com.

The Martini Racing prototype is somehow stuck...

I'm hoping the Taylor Prototype wins, Corvettes bring home the GT win.

I'm off to get some wings and I'm in for the long haul.
