It was very interesting at the end of the race~ when Mazda was 1 spot away from clinching the Manufacturer's Title~ fortunately for Acura, the Mazda that was in front blew a tire, and the other Mazda behind Cunningham (leading TSX) was very professional and did not bump into him even when tailgating. Very close race! Good stuff~

From what I saw on television, I'm not sure Probst had enough to get around anyway. Davis also added to the sandwich job keeping Probst at bay. Those 6s are definitely a tight package in TC.

As for that new Audi... all I can say is have fun with your modifications now b/c SCCA is about to had you some weight and restrictions for next year.

Did you see MrChad there. He was going with another friend. I spent all my race money at MidOhio this year.

the tsx should be around until the 2008 model year though.

they wont replace it until 2009 so that is 3 years at least.

How could you not notice me, I had on the MrChad avitar? j/k.

I had on a red Cincinnati BearCats sweatshirt, and come dusk at the ALMS race on SAT, I was the guy shivering to death wonder how Cali got so cold so fast...

Here is a pic I shot during qualifing when Pete got pole. Leguna is now one of my favorite tracks, but to be honest the crowd for ALMS was very small compared to the WI and OH venues I attended this year. I guess the midwest just likes racing more--or has less to do? The small crowds were OK by me though.

Unfortunately 90% of all my shots came from the corkscrew since I didn't have a photo pass :P

Thanks though. I wasn't present for SUN's TC but from my TiVo it looked like no one showed up but the teams.

I wonder if the RealTime TSX will get the new '06 nose?

The RSX didn't and they used the Teg for along time even when the RSX was out. Maybe the Realtime fleet will become the Cert. Pre-owned fleet. Audi did that in GT.

I would also assume as long as Honda has a unique UK-JDM Accord, Acura will have a TSX model of some form. I would also like to know how TSX sales rank compared to JDM or Euromarket sales. The TSX may not be a complete toss off.
