Not that Audi needed help, but it's going to be very easy for them this year with Dyson moving to P2.
Still, I'm looking forward to the Audi and Peugeot battle at Le Mans this year.

What's P1 and P2 ? I don't watch ALMS before due to no Honda/Acura improvement.

scanner only worked on one channel. i didnt bother to try n find others since there was millions of people talking on every frequency. the am radio worked pretty good.

i have pictures some place but the camera i was using was very slow so i dont think i got any pictures worth while. ill look tho.

right now im trying to see if i can get a video recap of the race. i want to see that end to the race with the gt shoot out and the crash that caused that really long caution before sunset.

acura was a HUGE player. there were tons of acura tents and hospitality stuff. i was very tempted to pull out my acura key or go get the acura owners card outa the car and start flashing it around and seeing how far id get.

now i see theres an "acura sports car challege" in st pete that im thinking about going to. its on the 31st of march
