Judging by the number of cars in the Koni race the recession is over.

Porsche is on the pole overall.
Ruby Tuesday's pulled it's sponsorship, so I'm not sure if we'll see AJR in Grand Am this year. A sign of the times I guess. Alex and Holly are good people and they'll be back.

Funny stuff....I do the same thing...see sponsorship works!

Actually last year or so Ruby Tuesday really changed the menu and the food has been excellent for this type and price of resturant.

That is going to be interesting. You gotta be fast, good and lucky to survive that grid. Probably, but not certainly in that order.

My two sorta-friends from the Bay Area had disappointments. One didn't even make the grid, and the other a co-driver with Pobst saw his podium disappear with a balky fuel pump at the end. I heard 1:11 of the 3 hour race was under green.

I've taken about 600 pictures so far, of which 20% will likely be any good. I'll post them somewhere in a few days. If anyone has a special request of a car/location, let me know and I'll do my best to get one tomorrow.

Ken - Did you get any of the TRG GS crew in the pits ? We would love to see action pics of our son especially as he wouldn't expect us to have them

Thanks

Merely on a spectator pass, so really nothing that's not of cars. If you think he'll be helping with the Rolex team(s) I'll probably be over in the main grandstand at some point and can shoot the pits that way. Send me an email directly (won't have real computer access to access here) describing him, and I'll do my best!

Race will be on TV next Saturday. Nothing further to update, other than a results recap. I've got about 200 photos I'll cut down and post somewhere next week.
