Rolex 24 this weekend

Live link from the Turner Motorsports pit here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/turner-motorsport-live

Should be a great race again this year with the RX-8's battling Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, BMW for the overall win in GT. First few hours maybe in wet conditions, making for lots of on track action. SpeedTv coverage begins with a 2pm EST preview tomorrow and race coverage starting at 3pm.

4 RX-8s leading the field to the green, and out of courtesy, we will have one of them pull to pit road to give the rest of the field a chance.


Aren't we nice?

sad #69 took a dive off the track when making it's surge back to the lead pack. shame. it's said by the drivers and crew it was every bit as good at the 70 this year but with better racing setups since the drivers are more similar.


who's gonna win the foose mazda

69 only lost 4 laps down to 13th in class, they are up to 12th again, no visible damage taking a look at it under caution.

Nothing critical it seems.
