Here's a nice one of the PP car in for a pit stop yesterday. He's pulling out after the stop and his rear tire is spinning and the front tire not rolled yet.

On Thursday during qualifying I was in the Mustang Stamping team pit when the driver was getting in the car. This is the car that won today.

It was not Porsche's day to win but an enjoyable race to watch . That winning DP crew was biting their nails watching their driver limp a sick car to victory . Had the weather been warmer it may have been a different outcome . And what's with the team Konica Minolta car blowing up so many tires ??? The interviews with Alonso were a hoot , I think the guy was having fun again behind the wheel of a car , good for him and I'm sure you will see him at Le Mans . And that was the first EVER win for a Lambo car in a 24 hour race ? That surprised me . And thanks to all you guys that posted pics I enjoyed all of them .

Nice win for Lamborghini but I was pulling the Acura.
Any of y’all see what happened to the #58 Porsche on the warm up lap? |

There was an interview with a Continental guy during the morning hours and he said they'd confirmed that two of the blowouts were due to a puncture and they'd be inspecting all of the other tires to see if they could determine the cause for their failures. Also this morning, Tommy Kendall and one of the other announcers were talking about it and he said he had spoken to someone (can't remember who) and was told there was a turn on the track where a lot of the drivers were dropping the right rear off when they cut too far over the curb. It had been determined that at this particular spot, the edge of the curb was very sharp and was cutting into the inner sidewall of the right side tires. |

Good video Baz. Actually gave a better idea of the scope of the track than the TV coverage.

Nice video compilation, Baz. I may have walked by you once or twice. |
Thanks guys but I didn't shoot that video....I just posted it.
It was shot by a guy who lives just down the street from me. If you check out his channel he does a lot of videos of events and scenery in our area. Joe Addalia I think he does a very good job and hope one day to meet him just to shake his hand.... :) |
Of the past 11 I've attended this year was excellent. Perfect weather etc...

Thank you all for the photos. 18th place in their class and a finish for the #73 Park Place Motorsports GT3R.
|
Hey, in a 24 hour race, a finish is a win...

I know the both 911 and 912 had some big off track incidents. At lease a car with a Audi engine and the same VW corporation owned by the Porsche families won the that class. |

Brian, sorry we never caught up, Geneman, THANKS AGAIN, for the parking pass. All & all, a great weekend, sure, legs are a bit stiff, a few blisters on the bottom of my feet, but a great time & worth it. |

The #58 getting into fighting form.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4748/...29757df7_c.jpg DeltaWing haters rejoice, this was posted in a restroom. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4742/...9089bbd4_z.jpg The unmistakeable profile of a 935. Love the wheels too. Sadly, this car did not run in the vintage session. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4748/...1a004a33_z.jpg Why is the edge of the diffuser painted green, I asked a Porsche GTLM team member. To remind people it's there, itis an ankle biter he said!! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4713/...fdb4dc1e_z.jpg The sad fate of the #58 front bumper. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4753/...411b0049_z.jpg This doesn't look good on the #77 Mazda after it pulled into the garage Sunday morning. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4765/...55141016_z.jpg One of the items they "repaired", strapping the exhaust and wastegate together with a hose clamp. They also repaired/replaced an intercooler on the right side. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4618/...c189ff44_c.jpg The amazing monitor looking over the FanZone. The clarity and size were fantastic. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4630/...2e7bf207_z.jpg |
Wright Racing IMSA photo pose. I now have an AAR Eagle hat with the signatures of the four drivers. Patrick Long was especially cool

I was at the 911 garage on Sunday morning when they were finishing repairs. It was great to watch the controlled chaos and to see her fire up and get out to the track. |
