You need to add links NOW, joeb. I'm lost without them!

Sorry, i got stuck actually working today and then also tonight. I have friday off, so that will be my goal.

I’m not there

But wooooooo, racing.

You're forgiven.

Glad some things change but are still the same:

Corvette C8 broke 1 min in qualifying into the 1:54 bracket. Very impressive. I guess we have reached the high water mark in terms of speed for GT cars for the forseeable future. GTD pros lapped in 1 min 59s so we'll be back there next year. A lap of 1:54.9 is mid to back of the pack in the prototype grid in 2014/2015.

And Jimmie Johnson lost it at the end of qualifying and put into the tire wall at Turn 17 after also spinning at Turn 16 on the same lap. The car took a far amount of damage.

Why do I have a feeling he’ll be a backmacker in IMSA and IndyCar?

There is a long list of people that have gone into the tires at turn #17 at Sebring. I guess you could call it a baptism for him. He has a good amount of race time in sportscars and has done well, so I think he will be OK.

Trying for a last hot lap on dirty tires sounds like something a former PC driver would do. I think his winless streak will reach 132.

Agree 1.54.9 is basically in between the slowest 2014-2016 IMSA lmp2 and fastest LMPC, which is great considering how heavy gtlm cars are.
I hope next year gtd bop will be more gtopen likely compared to the actual one.

My day is the same. We’ve got a pinewood derby race again! Last one was during Daytona 24.

Cloudy and in the 70s during the afternoon. A small chance of rain.

Corvettes looking quick...

Yes! I was at Sebring one year and missed regional Pinewood Derby for both kids (their last ever, so I kinda regret it). But grandpa went and had to fix my illegal car and younger one took 2nd and was quicker than my setup. The old man still has it!!

Ha! I remember the pack leader at one saying "we're all here to have fun! Winning doesn't matter". I turned to someone and said "naw, playa"! We came for blood!!

That is true until the cars are on track, then I’m glad we are watching on zoom!

4th for my boy. He was gutted to miss out on a podium - “next year we go for the win!”. We won the pack, today was districts, so he’s only known wining!

Not bad for first proper go (last year we entered a car, but were in England).

I have joined you in a chair with cold beer. Going to get snacks soon too...

District is what my kids did!! Not region.

4th is respectable but yeah; no hardware.

And what a coincidence!! A bit breezy and cool but a gorgeous day!! More cold snacks and a stogie!

Think the wife is gonna do some homemade wings....

Cold beer started at noon, Guinness on sale week so drink em like it's water.
Tried to post a picture of the day but tapatalk said no sir. Double stogie working in the yard day, new trellis 8' high for the beans and peas listening to Hindy for a bit.

Will NOT make it to the end of the race today. Yup, in bed before 10 on a Saturday because I'm old

Doubt it, think teams wanting to find pros and support want the base GT3 regs. Think we'll see slightly faster times with all pro teams but more like the usual progress rather than a big change but I'm often wrong so.

LMP3 made it 30 seconds before a spin. Is that drink or finish drink?

BMW drivers are effing cry babies every damn race, you bash others all the time and then cry on lap 1? Shut your yap and drive, especially since on board showed you're full of it and then tried to drive the 4 in to the wall in the corner.

IMSA watch the onboard, the 4 followed the line in the track the entire way off sunset to start line. Tell Rahal to shut the f up and find someone to pay for his race team.
