Yeah I'm sure O'Connell, will continue to give Sarrazin Hell until the race is over. Congrats to Gavin and Beretta though for the Driver's Championship!

Can we make it a GT2 car and go whip up on Porsche and Ferrari?

Maybe Dodge or Saleen can bring some competition to the plate next year. ALMS will figure something out. I thimk Corvette Racing is too important to ALMS to just drop a class. But what Do i know I'm just a Fan.

They've have yet another sponsor, Jefferies & Company Inc, a US-based investment bank.

There was a great battle between Ben Devlin in his Radical SR9/AER with Kuhmo tires who held off an RS Spyder for around five minutes for the P2 lead.

That was cool, the Radical is looking pretty well sorted.

It was a great weekend, the 007 car barely made it to qualifying with electrical problems. Overall, the corvette's pushed really hard and all I can say is if you have a chance to watch this race at Laguna Seca, definetly do it!!

I spent a lot of time on the top of a huge hill watching the track at turns 10/11 and 1/2/3/4/5

The corkscrew is a great place to hang out and watch the thunder come through (aka the C6R's).

Got a few good shots, but this 1,2 and three shot was great (the lights on the side of the car tell you the stats)

At the NCM corvette banquet friday night Tom Wallace stated that Corvette Racing WILL race next year, in ALMS or possibly in some European races.
