Nice pics. Is it just me or does the front view of the Aston Martin look like your looking at a catfish?

The lime green highlight around the grill doesn't help it's cause either.

But I'm sure I wouldn't mind that view from the drivers seat!

Pics were actually taken by Jeff a.k.a. Jeffvette. I believe he said Tomy was okay, but it was a spectacular wreck in which he cleared hedges and came close to the fountain or something...

Thanks for the pix. I was supposed to be there, but both my wife and I got sick (badly) last week, so we pulled the plug on the trip.

I am sure that you guys already know but the #15 Drissi car is our LG Motorsports #87 World challenge car from last season.

It seems that our World challenge cars are jinxed.

First the #28 car from last season was burned to the ground.

Then the #87 (now 15 car) crashed hard.

The Foster car that I won Sears point with dropped out with a broken axle.

And our #28 car from 2004 C5 was driven by Eric Curran to third in Practice. then had a switch go bad and missed qualifying. He then started from the rear and hit a porsche and crashed out of the race.

I guess SCCA put a hex on my cars

Sorry for Tommy's crash. I talked to him and he will be in a a body brace for a few days but other than that and full of bruises, he is ok.

His HANS device worked perfectly and his neck is NOT even sore.

Thanks
Lou Gigliotti
