Plenty of time for the Dempsey team to catch the guys in front of them to get a top 5 finish.

 

Haskell only drives at the 24 hours. Usually he is th strategist for the #70. He builds engines, tests them for Speedsource.

It seems like these decisions are not avoidable when you go a more corporate route and start taking in sponsors' money. Its going to be great for new fans, but I will miss Nick Ham on the interviews, he is probably the humblest man in the paddock from the way he gives interviews.

that is too bad but Bemarito has done some fine driving this weekend! i wonder if we will see them at SS this year?

 

yup, its really sad,,,
Coorporate BS - "Hey Nick thanks for getting us poles for half the season, see ya later"

 

With big money out goes loyalty. Unfortunate side of business and pro sports.

 

Pretty smooth sailing for a while now:

#70 leading, 4 laps over #67 GT3 in P2
#43 in 4th, 8 laps behind P3, 1 minute ahead of P5, 23 laps down to GT lead
#40 in 7th, 1 lap behind P6, 3 laps ahead of P8, 24 laps down to GT lead
#41 in 14th, 85 laps down to GT lead

69, 30, 42 still out.

 

ya well atleast if anyone in either the 69 or 70 has trouble then atleast they will have this amazing driver to step in.

 

DP 6 out with an oil fire, no dramatic effect to it, and avoided a caution due to where he pulled off.

 

The Canadian #22 Porsche looks beat.

 

Sahlen 43 in the pits I think, dropped to 6th. I would expect that to cycle back up over the next few laps.

 

Any pics of what Foose did to rx8?

 

I'm seeing 2 different variants, between web and TV. Paint and GT wing are the only things identifiable that I can see. It's an R3, with the R3 bodywork. TV variant is red and blue, net is this one:




Which is Dempsey's actual race car (from the vents and such), so I doubt that it is the actual finished product.

 

I don't like not having ham a primary driver. we got a newbie that hasn't raced on all the tracks let alone raced on then dozens of times like ham has he better not mess up the shot at the championship

 

Thanks, RIWWP.

Nick is a class act.

 

yeah i have been looking but havent found very many pics of the 40 car or paint scheme. I realized this morning that a rx8 is the pace car?

 

Yup

I was praying for it not to crash "pacing" at the speed it was in the pouring rain at the start with presumably stock rubber on. Looking good though.



I have been searching, but the only pics I am seeing are of the actual #40. Foose might have designed it but it isn't built, or hasn't designed it yet waiting for some season inspiration or something to change it by, etc...

 

The times that I've talked with him he's been great. He even came to hang out with the Mazda fans at one of the races. Very humble and personable.
