Gotta love those RS Spyders. Too bad they're gonna be detuned for next season...

Great win indeed ... too bad the #6 car had issues though because it would have been nice to see a 1-2 finish for the Penske boys.
I'm wondering if Audi is reconsidering today their decision to run the full series

Go Gators!

As I stood on the roof of my motorhome 200 feet from the start/finish line last night and watched the end of the race, it was pretty emotional. I've been going to the 12 hour race every year since '85 and have been a 911 owner since '89. All that great history and a bunch of GT2 wins, but never the big prize. I was beginning to think that I'd jinxed Porsche by owning one. And when that yellow #7 took the checkers, we almost could believe it.
BUT WE WON!  The Penske and Dyson teams did a great job and Flying Lizard deserves major credit for the GT2 win.

I didn't realize that the new weight restrictions had already been implemented. Man, you give Audi a handicap and they STILL can't beat the Spyders...
Looking forward to the season. Hopefully I'll see some of you at Lime Rock.
