First Sebring Practice Times Posted

Mark,
Who the hell am I supposed to go t-shirt shopping with this year?  Really hung me out here buddy!  And what am I supposed to say to David Brabham when I run into him and he asked me where you are?.....Yeeesh!
Next year you better be back over here!

Christ John, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe you'd better go earlier this year before the beer monster takes over!    They might not have run out of half of the sizes by then as well!!

Say hi to Brabs for me    And I WILL be back next year. Hope to see you in June though. Hope it all works out! Let em knwo if there's anything I can help with from this end!

The beer monster takes over about the time the car stops running when we've pulled into our parking spot
Don't have to worry about finding half sizes this year, put on more than a little winter "coat" this year.  It's gonna take me cycling all spring to lose this spare tire.  One of these days I'll learn that drinking beer and eating pizza and chicken wings is no way to stay fit over the winter, but probably not.  I'll give David your regards.  Make sure you use Cuervo in those Margarita's

...........There, see. You don't need to travel all that way to enjoy the race. I'm sure I'll have just as much fun as those that are actually there!!! 

And you'll have access to this forum throughout!

Sorry, but if its a choice of Basingstoke or Florida, why have I chosen Hampshire.

Do they still make Jose Cuervo's Gold Label?  That takes me back.  I thought it was sh*t anyway, and you were keeping the decent stuff.

Have one for me anyway

Notice that on the second practice lap the #6 RS Spyder didn't give it a go.  No time posted for the faster (in session 1) Porsche.  I wonder what happened???

[jpchenet]

Maybe they didn't want to give too much away!

Cuervo's not top of the line by any stretch but it'll get the job done nicely for 'Rita's.  No point in putting the really expensive stuff in there and mixing it.  To be honest I can't drink Tequilla straight up, makes me a complete idiot (well, even worse than usual).  The only time I've ever been involved in a bar brawl it was drinking Tequilla in a Irish Pub on St. Patricks Day. Go figure!
I noticed the Porsche didn't put in a time either, hmm?
What if its the Vette's that are sandbagging?

Well they just finished the practice laps and here is the link to the scorecard.

Oops, they change the scorecard for each supporting race group's practice and qualifying.

Look at those Astons go.

By the way they have the name wrong!! it is an Aston Martin DBR9

[johnevans3]

It's amazing what an extra 150 lbs. and smaller restrictor plates can do to a cars performance.  Take that penalty away and the DB(r)9's would fall behind.  BUT it does look like an Aston repeat unless lady luck says different.
They do need to win one once in awhile, otherwise they wouldn't race and that would be a shame.

Look at those Porsche LMP2's go!  They could really throw a wrench into Audi's grand plan for ALMS domination.
Thanks for the link Rick.

Thanks for the advice Peter, http://globecast.workscast.com/ Radio is really getting me back into the spirit of things. Why are the Astons running one car with Pirelli's and one with Mitchelin? Both ahead of the Corvettes I have to add.

Peter Cox in the Spyker has had a big accident hope he is OK
