Poor young thing, I think her skirt ripped. Hope your bringing "that" part of the show to Mid Ohio Lou
How does the splitter hold up hitting the rumple strips? We are in process of building one for the C3. Any advise appreciated.

ALMS needs to dump LMP1 as there is three cars 
GT-1 is lame also #3 racing #4 and at best two Astons GT2 and LMP2 only

GT1 I agree with but I don't want the Vettes to stop racing.

If you think that about LMP1 you are missing the best racing on the track. Audi vs the Porsche Spyder for overall. Some fantastic racing... ALMS did the right thing to alter the ACO weights to keep those two competitive.

Gt2 is also great!!!! As for GT1, well, it's better than not seeing them at all, I guess.

Other then prepping for Le Mans, GT1 is a completely pointless class in ALMS. I'd rather see a bigger push in GT2 by GM to make it a three-way fight (four-way when BMW joins).

I tend to agree. "Racing" without competition is just testing. I love the Corvette Racing team and am happy Steve W. has a job, but find some competition or change classes or go to Europe.

Damn Lou, we have been running Kumho tires for 11 years, this will be our 12 year beginning next weekend and we not only never had a Kumho girl in our paddock but Kumho has been keeping her a secret from us amatuer guys. Talk about being cheated from the benefits.
Whats a darn shame is that you had to be wrecked to get any coverage at all during the race telecast. At least they knew your name and what your car looked like. Good luck for the next race and for the whole season. I hope most of the bugs are worked out now. Did Doug come by and say hi? Tell him you're part of the American Revolution and you are only Italian by heritage and temperment.

There already is an official three-way fight in GT2 with Panoz having been in GT2 since 2004.

Frontal area C6R GT1 vs. GT2
I'm not sure what the rules allow but I thought it was interesting to compare the front of the P&M C6R with LG's car. Aero on the front is so important and the GT1 car looks like it has less drag.
