You guessed it earlier, the GT cars run yellow. Prototypes just run clear (white) headlights.

Cool, sounds like we're on our way to a meet.

I'm camping there that weekend and I should have a friend with me. Sauceman will be making the trip again this year and perhaps we'll drag Dom out again.

I get to meet 10 foot tall DM

Sweet, I probably will be heading up there on my own. This is my first ALMS race, so I can rely on you guys for finding good viewing positions.

Good pics too, since you have fancy cameras.

We'll start a meet thread closer to the event to work out the details. You're in for a great time.

Nice pics..What where your impressions of the R10 and did you get any pics of the powerplants?...I know Audi benifits from the rule changes because of the diesel, but is also penalised for other things also...Was there any talk there about this being a huge benifit or not?

**On a side note I have been looking for some more detailed specs other than the basics for acuras drivetrain next year in Lemans...does anyone have a link?? thks.
