...just back from the track...

NOT a good day for our boys in Vettes..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Phil was drivin' the WHEELS OFF OF his car to get up under the Porsche under BRAKING AND CORNERING (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) while the Porsche just PULLED him hard on the straights.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ....I would have thought the opposite would be the result, but oh well it WAS a race...

Lou got into Angelleli at the start....back of Caddy stoved in pretty well...was running up front around 6-8 but dropped into the pits repeatedly for what they thought was a head gasket.....Anthony told me they had planned to drop in a new motor after the race anyway...oh well bad timing...Lou's other car, Chambers, sustained rear end damage...and Videtto's car had a left rear wheel turning in all sorts of BAD directions when the wrecker dropped it at Lou's pits....whew....told Anthony to GET TO WORK! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Saw Oates go off in a cloud of dust never to return....car was towed in with a REAL dirty "paint job" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Tony Gaples was driving the heck out of the thing, but was smokin the tires under breaking almost every lap towards the end....

Oh, and the Caddy....Angelelli's car was TRASHED! Came by with the hood over the windsheild, and he missed turn 7 because of it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) In the pits after the race, they had the hole front of the car off of the thing, and the radiator support was pushed back a good 8-10 inches....they had the car stripped to the "unibody" in front....and as I sat watching.....I STILL COULD NOT SEE THE MOTOR! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) It is so far back down and in there, you WOULD NOT BELIEVE!

Was a good race, and so was the touring race...the ALMS seemed light on cars from what I have seen in the past....but a GREAT day at the track!
