I sure did watch it David. I was upset that I didn't turn the channel sooner Too bad that I don't see any replays in the near future. I was able to record few minutes of it though.

Like you said, I can't believe how those guys just push their way into position. Talk about aggressive positioning... i pitty the cars

I did get to watch some of it. Yeah, talk about European Nascar!

If those cars weren't full of water for coolant, the safety cars would have less miles on them! See, reason 34 for air cooling

Note that one of the stars of Supercup was the young American, Patrick Long.

Next year, Long steps up to ALMS with Kevin Buckler's TRG, teaming with former GT Driver's Champion, Cort Wagner. Kevin Buckler steps out of the driver's seat to manage full time. Recall that TRG took the OVERALL win at Daytona last year.

Race fans, only four more weeks until the Rolex 24. Good luck TRG.

In watching the show, it is amazing how smoothly they shift and lack any fear with cars less than an inch away, if not tapping each other . I have a long way to go.

I saw that one were he got bumped out to the grass while positioning for an apex line on a corner approach, but he kept going to get back on the track...looked more like to me that he was trying to get even with the car who pushed him off, but he ended up t-boning another car then he try to appologize?? what a moron!!

It was great to see Patrick do well in a few of those races. He is karter from the SoCal area and then he did well in the British Formula Ford series a few years ago. I wish him well in '04.

Oh, my. I don't think I've EVER heard of someone managing to record the wrong program using a TIVO before!

Looks like Buckler is racing at Daytona with Long, Luhr and Bernard. Should be a great team. The preseason test is this weekend. Check out the GA website for entry list and times. www.grand-am.com

My favorite was the guy who steered left into a passing car, causing it to literally leap 3 feet off the pavement with 3 of 4 tires... Maaco had a field day LOL...
Those guys are nuts!!!
