... and the Petit Le Mans.
A fair amount attrition within the Speed World Challenge ranks on the first day of practice. LG damaged an engine. Caddie had fuel issues. Chip Herr lost 2nd gear somewhere, they're still looking for it. A priveteer BMW (TC) met the tire wall, hard. A couple other cars went back into their respected transporters. ... and our team had a bad vibration in the driveline. Turned out to be a bearing in the torque tube. Pulled the entire rear suspension/trans and replaced it, but couldn't make the second practice. Getting ready to head out for day two of practice, Thursday is Qualifying and racing is Friday. Johnny O'Connell will be driving the 'guest' CTS/V this week. He's still a Corvette guy at heart. He came over and chatted the other day. |

QUOTE (PF Flyer @ Sep 25 2004, 03:09 PM) Well, the week is over and I won't give away the ending, but it was an (almost) all GM podium. A couple of tense moments, nobody hurt, clean blocking and good racing. Our season is over, as we're not going to the 'Left' coast for the last race at Laguna. It's on tomorrow at 1 EST. Here's THE LINK to what pictures I could get. I got plenty of in car, I just need to transfer and edit it. Ahhhhh....but Laguna is THE BEST track around....and in an AWESOME setting....too bad you will miss it.....I will be there for the race....have a FAMILY wedding to go to or I would be going to see ALMS NIGHT RACE at Laguna Saturday night....THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST! Have fun. |
