I asked and Chris did not make the trip down for RRIII, but will be down this coming weekend for HSR.

Too bad he had issues during qualifying, I'd love to see where he'd stack up without the handicap of starting dead last.

Looks like a lot of us just passed by each other at Hooters without saying Hi.

We need a semi-official Rennlist front 4 banger T-shirt in the future to help identify each other.

Yeah, someone had to actually WORK!!

In qual. the 551 car broke a CV joint and had to start 68th or something like that. Second from the back. He never had time to find out but he guesses he finished in the top 15 due the number of cars he passed/lapped.

Some of you have seen the car run in person. It is very easy to drive and is friggen fast as hell. Wonderful machine.

Todd's wife was THERE with us! -She witnessed the 'pneumatically-enhanced' waitresses for herself.

The one on the left had a ledge-shelf of a butt; -one that you could stand a round of drinks on... hence the photo!

Yeah, she made the Daytona 500 with us a few years ago when I had some extra tickets at the start finish line.

Sorry I missed it, then I miss Palooza this weekend in AR, still down south in Colombia. Damn hot too.

What sort of cars is that up against? What are the comparative laptimes to some of the beautiful racecars featured in some of the photos here?
Chris, is it running stock CV's? I am looking into an aftermarket product that can handle 500+lb/tq.

Was anyone else in the grandstand at the international horseshoe on Saturday? There was a photographer there that had a kid hand out cards with his website, and I can't find my card.

Edit: found it. http://962image.com He doesn't have the Rennsport gallery up yet.

I took ~2,100 photos in 3 days. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I have.

Sorry, but no time to process everything (or even part of) I have, too much work and not enough sleep...

The blue 951 is claimed to be making 575 WHP , 1 of the interesting thing about it is, the turbo intake filter is in the cabin , right beside the driver can you imagine the noise at full boost
