You guys are cracking me up....................

I can only guess as to who Duke1 is..........

It's great that the Great Lakes Division is going to have more enduros, I only wish that the up keep on my ST1 car was not so high so that I could enter it...... Doesn't mean that I cant jump out of my ship into a lesser car ( Grabers ) and participate as well.

I had a great time running my first enduro @ Thunderhill even though that did not turn out as planned......Looking forward to my next opportunity !!!!

This is going to be a big event, with what appears to be a bunch of Grand-Am teams practicing for their June event.

Frankly I don't know who Duke1 is either.

There is a post in the NASA GL forum for those interested in "renting" a ride, looking for a driver or looking to crew. There should be lots of opportunities to get in the race.
I guess I just assumed that one of the three Spectator Racing cars could run for 3-hours.

So Spectator Racing has two corvettes and one mustang. Raft Racing has two corvettes, unlimited funds, a crew of 10,000 and enough take-offs for the next ten years.
....And nobody is running Mid Ohio. Gas is cheap these days.

Agree Bluegrass will be awesome. Sign-up early.

Same here. Although I've been in Northern Michigan for most of the last two months, so 45* in April will seem like Hawaii.

Here's a shot from the temp guage in the test car two weeks ago:

Obama saw that I had too many tires in my garage (more than I "needed"), so he probably jacked 1/2 of them to give to you guys.
