Me too. Hopefully a finish for both C6R's this year! I think the weight rules for the Corvettes were a disadvantage for 2010. Hopefully they will get it right. The new Ferrari's may get a break like they gave the BMW's last year, so it could be a tough year again for the C6R's.
Still my favorite time of the year.

Yeah, the Walter Mitty in me starts going pockita pockita pockita as I wonder how much it would cost to put Red in a container, ship it to France, fly over, pick it up, and drive down to LeMans to enjoy the race weekend. Afterwards, wander thru the vineyards. Then mosey over to Germany for a few banzai runs up the autobahn on my way to Amsterdam. Ship Red home and fly back. Pockita pockita pockita ...

I find it comical that the VETTES keep getting penalized for weight or whatever the so called judges can think of and they don't protest or boycott or do anything to fight back!!! What kind of race is it that you already know ahead of time that your chances are not good because you keep getting shot down by the powers that be!I want to see VETTES win races,not make excuses for why they dont! I've gotten much more of the latter lately then of the former.

The Corvettes had the pace last year, and I enjoyed the battle with Ferrari. Too bad Mr. Davidson in his Peugeot didn't exercise a bit more common sense in his choice of passing spot, or maybe the #64 would have been on the top step of the podium.
