Vic Elford did 244 at Le Mans in a 917.

Just catching up, yeah... although I think this one is a 54, but a Kaiser Darrin is correct.

2008 BMW M1 Homage

It's not. In 1942 it was originally developed to make clear plastic gun sights, but as they also discovered it stuck to everything and was rejected. It resurfaced in 1955 as Flash Glue and later patented by Eastman Kodak, but it wasn't until 1966 as it was used as liquid stitches in Vietnam. However, it wasn't until 1998 2-octyl cyanoacrylate the medical version was approved by the FDA.

Best Le Mans in a long time. Awesome, gripping, tense and heartbreaking. Not only LMP1 and for overall, GT1 had a good race going too. LMP2 was a Porsche blowout. and GT2 was a Ferrari blowout. A bunch of new records were set and just an incredible race overall. People will be talking about this one for a long time coming.

I can't imagine going 240mph in a 917s no chicanes no gardrails coming down into Mulsanne.

For sure, it is the premier auto race in the world. I am not sure that no matter what tire choice they made was going to make a difference. But hindsight is always 20/20. That may have made the difference. The Audi teams do have it down to a science whereas the Peugeot team is still green. I can't wait for next year's race.... I am stoked.

Absolutely the best Le Mans I have seen yet. I kept wanting to go to bed but man what a battle overall. I really wanted to see Peugeot winning just to see someone else win for a change. They are already talking changes coming for next year. Audi to abandon the Spyder, Porsche and Acura to challenge for a win overall, perahps in a closed car for Porsche. Peugeot proved their question of reliablity and all three cars finished in the top 6 and had 2 podiums 2nd and 3rd. But man what a race. Crazy French, raining on half the track and making up ground, on slicks, for awhile, on the TK in the lead Audi. It was a real nail bitter to the end. Yeah, and they say Porsche couldn't do it. Never run a 24 hours with an RS Spyder and clobbers LMP2, and only finished two gas LMP1 cars back. Another good race to the end, but the Aston was just a little too fast for the Corvette boys in GT1. A complete disaster for Porsche in GT2, I was surprised to see the Lizards still limping around till the end in a sea of Ferrari 430s. Not the titanic battle it could have been. I am glad Risi got it though. New record distance for the race. 381 laps Record 8th win for TK and 9th in a row for Audi if you include the Bentely.

It is night - raining and there is 20 sec separating 1st and 2nd between Peugeot and Audi. I don't know what could be more exciting. Sure sounded like a derogatory statement. I am not narrow-minded but see no benefit or have any interest in NASCAR, and still to date nobody has been able to intelligently explain it to me, but I am always willing to listen.

Yeah, well, that is the best I have ever felt about NASCAR. Boring, but I have several more opinions of NASCAR, which I wont go into.

Okay finally official retirements .... Chronos is finally working correctly.... sheesh leading Peugeot missed pit entrance and gone off track. Risi Ferrari Trading Perf Zytek IMSA Porsche GT and both Spykers.

Rain coming that will make everything interesting.

Only one official retirement? the Speedy Racing Spyker is done with a blown engine. The Lizards and Chamberlin Lola are still gimping around. The other Lola is DQed as the driver beached the car and wondered away. Others out... 5 total. I am not sure who else. IMSA Porsche Speedy Racing Spyker #83 Risi Ferrari

Yeah I answered that one a while back.

That is a Bendix concept car.

That is what I Say... ###### Risi took 2/3 of the Porsche field out.

That was the first one out. Amanda did make it back to the pits, and the car just gone back out on track. Lizards are back running.

Oh and Amanda kills the Lola AER, the first husband wife driving the same car. Could be done for them.

Speed back on a 9 EST through to the end.

While we take this 8 hr TV break GT2 ###### Lizards. ??? Matmut Porsche out. Ferrari Porsche Ferrari GT1 Saleen lost a wheel and beached. Aston Corvette Corvette LMP2 Mostly uneventful with the two Porsche Spyders leading LMP1 Audi Peugeot Peugeot The Aston coupe crashed but is back out. A broken gear shift lever and a long pit stop has put Peugeot behind. Still a long way to go.

The old track or the old old track.

Chitty Chitty bang bang, oh! wait... Alldays & Onions... man what a name for a car.

So close...
