I don't like the fact that I will have to wait a week to see less than a third of the race on CBS.

I don't like that Speed TV has deemed Nascar more exciting than this.

Misha is Grupe Orange Racing not down there? I don't see them on the Q sheet you posted. I hope they didn't have issues getting the car on the track

I hear you there. I'm going to miss most of the ALMS race because I'll be at the NASCAR race in Charlotte tonight.

You know what's funny. I'm attending the NASCAR All-Star race in Charlotte tonight. I'm leaving for the track at 5 PM. This will be my first live NASCAR event. I don't know what to expect.

Not sure Mark. On Wed they posted on their facebook wall that they will be there. I don't follow the GTC class very closely. I'll let you know if I hear something.

American Le Mans on facebook is another way good way to get news and follow the action. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...fficial?ref=ts

Remember the radiolemans will also broadcast all day from the race!

Went on Saturday, great day, but cold and windy. Cars must have loved the temps. Here are a few pics of the top 3 in the GT class.
