  1. I don't think he will have the car.
  2. Since they have practically nothing any more. Sheesh.
  3. 30 years ago. They look huge on the track next to a RX8 or Porsche.
  4. Dump Truck, that too funny. The Mazda's are a tube car too, but they always complained about the Pontiac GXPs too. Yeah I wish they had especailly night coverage because that is when most of the action is going on. I noticed that too, there seemed to be quite a few more trannies give up the ghost than in past years. Otherwise it probably would have been a TRG 1 2 3. I was rooting for Lizards too.
  5. Massa top of the time sheet again today.
  6. Yeah, I noted it the Grand Am post. Good to see Massa on top of the sheet. I think the fight could be Massa and Schummi
  7. You just need to be fanatical about care and maintenance, and they don't like real heavy paints.
  8. BMW yeah just not so much in the GT class. They kind of sucked. -28 laps.
  9. BTW it was the first test session for F1. It was really good to see Massa at the top of the time sheets. MS did pretty good too for being out for how many years, ended up 3rd. I think that is going to be the fight right there. Ferrari - Massa Mercedes - Schummi
  10. Yeah, I remember that car pounding around. March?
  11. Lozano Brothers Porting tunned that V8 No relation to TRG or the Flying Lizards.
  12. Not too sad for Brumos. The Action Express car was under the Brumos umbrella, so it was like a win for Brumos car 59. I think it may have had something to do with running the V8. Brumos is factory backed and they probably said no so they formed a sub-team Action Express to run the V8 Porsche car with cause too much stir at the factory, well, until now. Now that they won.... who knows what might happen.
  13. More toy than model. I don't know why all the good Group 5 cars are formerly electric motor kits, like Tamiya's 935. The body detail is good. The chassis and interior has lots to be desired. I am not dissapointed, I kind of knew that is what it was. Hobby Lobby has them and I would get a 40% off coupon for it, but frankly it's not worth the $35 retail price. But it is the only game in town so if you want one, short of going to a resin kit, that is it. It's in the booth now. I sure do hate painting white cars though.
  14. Mostly you will have to look at the high end resin kits, like Model Hiro. The Audi R10 TDI is the only plastic one I can think of.
  15. Funny how fast things change a Daytona. They led for a while dropped back to 9th got to the lead again, dropped back running 4th. TRG needs to catch that Pontiac Camaro.
  16. Seems fitting to work on a previous 24 Daytona winner this weekend.
  17. Brumos, we will see, Might have to cheer for the Action Porsche. Nice, 1-4 Porsche a lap up on the 5th pl Camaro. Not a BMW in sight.
  18. I guess they just moved up another postion
  19. Porsche 1 2 3 4 right now. The way it should be Brumos is moving up too.
  20. I think it the season. I don't know what Toyota is up to. 24 of Le Mans perhaps.
  21. So I just heard from reliable sources that the USF1 car will not be ready for the official test session. They will have a car there but it's a "show" display car. In addition, they said they (USF1) has a 0% of making the first race. The rumor is that there driver has paid more than $400,000 a race to drive the car for 16 of 19 races.
  22. It is not looking so good for USF1. They have money problems. The still do not have a second driver, the only diver they did get had to come with at least 8M, no reserve - test driver, no major sponcer, bits of a car but no complete car, no engine deal, they said they would do their own mixer, and they are running out of time.
  23. Just to be different, here is my Group 5 entry. An SA22
