Also a short distance back to the pits. Not like lemans.

 

[Burhead]

The #10 WTR has another cut tire and body damage. The Fords are straight dominating the GTLM field.

I’m not certain I understand the penalty the 29 Audi R8 has received.

Neither do I but they're saying they violated the BoP game changer in that class they were up a lap on the field.

Understood. I remember people mentioning BoP when the GT stormed lemans in 2016. Looks like they’re taking it seriously.

The team confirmed it had something to do with fueling the car.

Went to bed at 12:30. Glad to see Lambos running 1st and 3rd right now. Hope the Caddys have problem during the final few hours.

I’m sick of these Fords in GTLM. Hopefully when I get back from church they will be up on cinderblocks with the corvette pacing the field.

19 more laps and they'll break the distance record set in '82.

Paul Tracy telling a story on the broadcast about a guy grabbing his nuts and telling him to go kick ass. Glad I caught that this morning. Lol.

I love it.

The rain may prove to be a nuisance.

Haha. Maybe the two fords will battle for the lead and rub elbows too much. Otherwise ford has it locked up. 😉

 

[Burhead]

Hopefully the rain comes to make this last 50 minutes interesting.

FYI, one of the guys in the engine department of ECR (builder of the Chevy motors in the Prototype winning Cadillacs) is a recent UT engineering grad. His name is Lucas Lafond and he interned the past two summers at ECR and they hired him in the spring when he graduated. His dad owns B&B race engines in Louisville, TN,

2 Sunday’s

2 more days til we actually have cars on the track. One if you want to count the practices on Saturday.

 

[Vol$_Deep_11_9]

Is it just me but watching these practices, it seems like I’ve only seen one Chevy since it started a minute ago but that car looked like it was crab walking. I like the looks of the Chevy’s though.
