It's 8:40 AM on the east coast and I'm hunkered down in our A/V room watching the pre-race coverage. It's a nice day in Le Mans—who else plans to watch at least some of the race? |

My TV package doesn't have Fox Sports 2 (I do have FS1).
If your cable TV offers FS2: http://www.foxsports.com/foxsportsgo/ Besides the race, you can get in-car on the Corvette |

And just like that, it goes horribly wrong: the #92 GTE Pro 911 RSR blows an engine and catches on fire. There's also significant body damage to #13 Rebellion LMP1 car after it collided with the #42 LMP2 car. Full course yellow. |

Corvette has had the lead, just pitted, about 2 seconds behind the leading A-M.
I don't know about you all, but I so love hearing Sam Posey's commentaries... he has such a way with words. |

I was watching the 64 in car on Foxsports Go. Couldn't tell what was going on, but it was sure fun to watch.
I'm amazed at how those LMP cars passed the Corvette, almost like it was standing still. |

Weight & horsepower. LMP1 - 1920 lbs C7R - 2750 lbs The downforce only comes into play in the corners. On a straight, it actually slows you down. It's scary, especially at night. I was in a 25 hour race, in a Spec Miata and got passed by this car more than once. |

The 458 screams like a banshee on the track... The Vette sounds like a UPS truck... but the Vette has them all covered with that wonderful torque!
And the Europeans LOVE the roar of American V8s... just love the sound John, you guys need to do Sebring next year... that's all there is to it. No more Internet view fests. You need to SMELL it. FEEL it. Embrace it. LIVE it. Join us for dinner at the Watering Hole... Greek food at Jimmy's... after race breakfast at Bob Evans! I think with some jiggling, we can find you and Evie some room at the inn. For the moment, check out VIR... it's a long day's drive to Southern VA. http://www.imsa.com/races/virginia-international-raceway Figure 7 hours drive time to VIR. Figure 18 hours drive time to Sebring... the biggest problem with driving the 95 corridor in March are the Canadian drivers on holiday... they are stuck at 100 kph... sigh... |
