[ALMS] If this doesn't get you in the mood, nothing will...

Can I get a big old "Hell yeah!"?

Can't wait till Saturday. Will be watching the glorious race in HDTV on the 100" projector in the theater room in the basement!

I dont know if I like Formula 1 and ALMS opening on the same weekend.

I wont get to watch either till I get back from VIR, but I'm sure someone will ruin it for me by blabbing the results.

DVRs are made for race watching, lets you cut out the commercials and the bs. The Grand Sport paint job on Rob's car looks great!

I went in 2005. Great R8 finish that year!

I enjoy Petit LeMans more in person, and save my time off for that.

However, everyone should go at least once IMHO!
