Watched the race on SPEED. Very good race. Astin Marten is getting better.. Its a heck of a race when first and second place are on same lap after 24 hours. Corvettes looked real good.
I was also cheering for the Audi's.

Hey Lars, that quite an honor!
Astin Martin ought to be getting better...didn't the sanctioning body make the Corvettes add weight to even out the playing field last year? Oh well, good showing for the good ole USA.

Hi Lars
Looking closely at the picture of your car, it seems that you have some sort of extension for the lower part of the rear bumper.
Am I right?
P.S. joules, that I did not make Le Mans this year. Did you stay at the Camp Corvette?

Congrats!! Yes, Driving the parade is very cool. I would never trade that moment in time for anything.
I have pictures from my 2007 LeMans trip here if anyone is interested.

I also have the pictures you took of me in the parade last year on the site. Thank you for taking those pictures. Wish I could have been there this year. I would have gladly returned the favor.
are you going next year? I'm thinking about going next year without the car!
looks like the site where I have the page is down, again..
