No question they will be the hot ticket, with randy and andy driving.
But my point was the teathing pains was goint to keep them from the front at Sebring. I bet they end up in the top 5 in a few races, so I think (hope) you are right there!

Mark they had overheating issues at Sebring and Randys car suffered a mechanical issue. In the (very limited) testing they were able to get in before Sebring the cars were faster than the Porsches and everything looked promising. Not sure what caused the cooling issues but I have no doubt it is being addressed right this minute.

We need two volunteers at each race to video tape and then Youtube it afterwards.
Speed Channel is out of control . Its their own series and we cant watch a race within a few months of it happening?

I always wondered how good a production you could put together using multiple hi-def camcorders, some editing software and voiceover. If you didn't charge anyone anything, you might even avoid legal trouble. But if you tried to charge for it, you'd probably get shut down.

Didn't get to watch hardly any of the Speed GT race Saturday. For some reason Grand-Am decided to have a driver autograph session at exactly the same time in the hanger/CDOC building. And they shut us out when it came to near too the Grand-Am drivers next session. Boo.
The volvo's were easily the best sounding cars of the entire weekend!
Wish the McLaren Mercedes SLR racecar on display had taken to the track. That would have been awesome. Car looked insane.

The Turbos were pretty cool, but you could tell the DP Porsches when they went by. They all had a whine about them. If you closed your eyes when the field passed you could tell which was which.

The guys at 3R are amazing. If you ever have the chance to see that shop I highly suggest you stop in. They turn out such high quality engineering that your jaw will drop. Great group of guys. They'll answer all of your stupid questions (I have tons) without making you feel stupid.
When I lived in Denver, I had them work on my '84 Carrera. Perfectionists.
