Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Alright, let's get it started! Here we go again lol I like that there's more teams in DP but so happy for the GT class, I think the best sports car racing there is, just so good!
CAL Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) and guess who got the DP Pole muhahahaha. I don't know it's the best, the series does have some issues. Edited January 29, 2011 by CAL
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Oh and I am quite excited!! It's not the best, I mean it's run in partner with NASCAR but it hasn't fully sponserized or commercialized yet so it's still grassroots in a sense, like the 24 of Nurburgring. ALMS has the best sports cars but I mean it's not bad But hey, since we don't frickin see FIA GT!
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 hey,until the day when Risi joins, I'm rooting for those guys. They act like it's a surprise they got pole!
MikeMc Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 As I live in SW Floriduh I'm waiting for Sebring..As its an hour away..I get to see the whole thing..and still sleep in my own bed I know its only 12 hours, but at my age I would miss half of the 24....so I pick Sebring!!
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 I dislike people who live near those 2 tracks for obvious reasons Martin Brundle's the man!!
Rob Hall Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Good weekend for racing on TV...watched the BTCC, DTM, and WTCC coverage this morning, now the 24...
ra7c7er Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I am watching. I just wish they would show the the whole thing. Everyone admits including the announcers, drivers, teams, officials, and fans that the best racing is at night so they need to start showing it.
Wagoneer81 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Ahhhh, life is GRRRREAT!!! I'm sitting on my couch, curled up under a comforter having what's known in my world as a 'pain day', perusing MCM forum on the laptop and watching the 24hrs at Daytona on 'Speed'. Aside from the lower back and leg pain that I can't seem to 'get on top of', this is a perfect day! The beauty of it was that I had forgotten the race was this weekend until I saw this thread, Thanks a bunch guys, you're lifesavers!
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Yup, same here man! Hope the race takes the thought off your pain And yeah I agree! The night racing is the best, why in the hell if EVERYONE agrees do they not show it?
Jon Cole Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Lovin' it! One eyeball on SPEED, the other one harvesting pics off the 'net. Local favorite- Turner Motorsports from Amesbury, Ma- Lizards ROCK! Even in DP! Need a Camaro GT-R in resin!
CAL Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Go Lizards. Camaro broke. Sheesh Chip's boys are falling apart at the seams. And the defending GT champs exploded the corner of their completely off their car.
ra7c7er Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Turner Motorsports has a live pit cam on there site. Anyone know of any other teams or websites running cams?
Railfreak78 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I love the team that runs that #57. I like the #69-70 Mazda teams and I am a HUGE Andy Lally fan!
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Go Lizards. Camaro broke. Sheesh Chip's boys are falling apart at the seams. And the defending GT champs exploded the corner of their completely off their car. You always beat me to the updates That's a shame for the Camaro, they were doing good! It's getting interesting, bring on the night!!
Nick F40 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 bahahaha I knew you would I love the way the DP's look this year. A 30 car GT field, heck yes Turners finally doing good
Cato Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Marcos Ambrose, Robbie Gordon or even Jeff Gordon would have been my pick instead of Jimmie Johnson...
Cato Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Anyone catch the interview with Andy Green, holder of the LSR at Mach 1 in the Thrust SSC? (Love to see Tamiya do that one in 1/12!) His latest project is to move the LSR record to 1,000 MPH in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodhound_SSC
Nick F40 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Nice to hear Andy Green, to go 1,000 is just AWESOME! I forgot to, I didn't think they were serious but Ferrari planning to make a turn key Grand Am 458 GT car...YES PLEASE!!
slantasaurus Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Montoya seems to think he's at Martinsville..........
Nick F40 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Is there any online stream of the race?
Jon Cole Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Well as we approach noontime on the east coast, it looks like BMW is crowding the lead in DP... The #02 car no longer looks like this, as they are on their third nose replacement, undecorated white paint. And the lead in GT class... Edited January 30, 2011 by Jon Cole
