...a little late but I just found out (Phewwww) Turner Classic Movies on this side of the pond at 10 eastern

I'm hopin' Audi puts it to the puggers but do you mean "Audi will always be there at the end" like at Sebring, 5 laps down??? 
Endurance racing has it's twists and turns as always...

Attended yesterday (Wedbesday) and the Aston, of course, sounded lovely; as V12s have a habit of doing...

...session underway. Live T&S: http://scoring.americanlemans.com/scoring.php

Scheduled for 2 1/2 more hours.

Okay. You're special. 

I'm no aero engineer but methinks fins for straight line stability have disappeared as aerodynamics have come a long way since the '50s (over, under and behind the cars). Granted, that's only 60 years (more than half the lifespan of the racing automobile) but...

Nice dissertation but you don't think that it's being mandated has anything to do with it's existence???    
(Hint: It does, to keep the cars from getting airborne whilst going sideways at high speed)

I don't think the ride height minimum has changed for this year but haven't checked.
From the ALMS boards "R18 fast lap was around 1:44. most laps were in between that and 1:48"

 






Lovely post... 

My apololgy. 'Twas early this morn when I found out and just scattered the inquiry for info wherever I could.
A wee bit here: http://thegarageblog.com/garage/racing-loses-another-one-rip-john-gunn/#more-13046

  

Anyone have info on the passing of John? Mention on other boards  but I cannot find any info on the web. 

Here also.... 

One bone (no pun intended..) of contention tho'.... Under "LINKS">"DRIVERS">"Milka Duno" 

"Talent, beauty, brains and competitive..."   

Competitive? At what? Surely we're not insinuating auto racing, are we  

"Couldn't blame him when Dennis Vitolo ran over him at Indy....

"I think it's getting close to the time for a revolution.

It's getting to the point where I wonder how long it will be before they ban sites like CA because non-PC statements are made from time to time"

 
Your side of the pond, too, ehhhh???

Here too. SPEED while it's on; T&S throughout as well as RLM. I've been enjoying RLM for years....don't even need the video as my minds eye sees it all with their excellent coverage. I'm 120 miles south of Sebring and have always planned to get over there and now I'm afraid this is the year (if the only one) I should've made it.  
  Anyway to get a passport and over there tomorrow (friday) ?


Wishful thinkin' as this may be a classic. Woulda liked to have beem over in '69 but was too young (14-15). Gonna enjoy the hell out of every minute (got Monday off to recuperate) all the same as I've been around raciing since early 60's so I virtualy "feel" it and "see" it "live" from here. Enjoy everybody as I know you shall.  
 Just don't let the deflating balloon ("Damn it's really over...now what?) get you down after the fact.  
 It does me every 24. So much anticipation and adrenalin during the leadup and race and then poof....it's over.  

Ah well, then there's always next year.
