... showed a lot of promise. From Trackbytes

Sebring, Fla. - If Wednesday is any indication, the 54th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring could make more history than we thought. For starters, Rinaldo Capello went 0.7 seconds under the track qualifying record in his Audi R10, a tremendous prospect for the R10's debut race next month. Capello's lap of 1:47.308 best teammate Frank Biela's qualifying pass of 1:48.029, set in 2002.

Joey Hand in the No. 21 BMW Team PTG BMW3 at 2:03.335, a lap that still was 1.5 seconds better than the record.

Graham Rahal got behind the wheel of one of BMW Team PTG's BMW M3s Wednesday morning. The 17-year-old's best time was a 2:07.28 on his 20th lap. It wasn't a bad time considering his tires had 60 laps on them.

The American Le Mans Series begins its 2006 season with the 54th annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. The 12-hour endurance classic is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. EST on March 18 at Sebring International Raceway and will be televised on SPEED Channel.

I'm getting there wednesday night. Hopefully it won't rain constantly this year and we'll get to see some practice!

Damn... I wish I was driving an ALMS car when I was 17!

Man, if I wasn't going to be on Spring Break then, I'd say ALMS party at Trackbirds!!!

Hell I wish I was driving an ALMS car at 37
