Road Amercia

The TSX won its class at World Challenge at road America this weekend. Realtime ran both the first and 2nd generations cars.

Went to the Realtime Racing party on Saturday night. Peter Cunningham runs a first class team and knows how to have a party!

Awesome. I miss Road America now thati no longer live in WI. I used to go to the Le Mans race every year.

Peter Cunningham is a pretty cool guy. I met him on a couple occassions, drove a couple of his cars too.

Pierre Kleinubing, of Coconut Creek, Fl driving car #42 won the Touring Car race in Elkhart Lake's Road America. Peter Cunningham is the team owner and finished 6th. Looks like 2G model.

Hard to tell by the picture. Are they Baer Brakes? Still looking for a upgrade for a 09 model.
