It was a great drive.

...as far as the pontiacs go since it's just a build to suit tube chassis and a ls2 motor all they need to do is slap on some other bodywork and go racing as something else...maybe a camaro...or swap out the motor and go as a ford....

Andrew Davis called me a few days ago, he's going to coach me at VIR. He said he's not worried, they can rebody the car into something else and Stevenson will still sponsor them. They probably would have won if Grand-Am didn't screw up the orders. But glad to see Lehman and Dirk win another one, I hope they can keep it up and get another championship!

It was sad to see the DP car take out Dominik's car as he was running strong too

Unless you've edited the subject line: "comeback drive" could mean any number of things. Right? I always feel like it's a bit of contest to see who can be first in terms of calling someone out for not putting SPOILER in the title. This call-out only took 16 minutes. Congrats.

Bgiere, I also watched the race yeterday, was thrilled that Porshce won, and that Leh and Dirk (who seems like a pretty cool guy too) added to their points lead. Very cool.

thanks guys.. we are on a heck of a roll...

I cant believe it really... but im concentrating on the next race as soon as the latest one is over....

The Farnbacher-Loles guys have been amazing... nok on wood but we haven't had a single mechanical problem and have pretty much finished every race as good as we possibly could... (excluding 24h daytona)

And both cars are running strong every race... so the guys really got it together....

Daytona is a pretty good track for us.. and 'safe' so im looking foward to this race.. also we have been great right out the box and since its a one day race that works in our favor....

Barber will be hot but should be ok too...

Montreal should be 'our track... actually the rest of the season looks great for us and a Porsche except Homestead...


Im bummed about the pole getting takin away... and the lap record... but that will just give me more drive to get a pole in the future.....


Also wana thank ShockDoctor !!

Is it true that Grand Am is secretly owned by the now defunct Pontiac?

Well it really seems as though GA does everything they can to hanidcap the Porsches...both GT and DP...but then again, I am biased! Keep up the fantastic driving and Good Luck to you and all the Farnbacher gang.
