    I thought Wayne Taylor was going to have a seizure. Great race for our hometown Michael Shank Racing.

    Correct, but those guys aren't flyin by trees & cliffs at 100+ either. Both disciplines take large attachments. :yesnod:

    I'll be watching & then recording while I :sleep:

    Any news on how RSR did in the Continental race? I know they don't have MINIs, but they are a good group of friends.

    I just saw it pointed out that since this is a race in the northern hemisphere in January there will be more racing in the dark (13 hours +/-) than in daylight. Speed have obviously opted to broadcast mostly daylight running -- less people watch at night anyway -- from 3P to 11P and then 9A - 4P tomorrow.

    I think the race itself doesn't start until 3:30 with the first half hour of broadcast the usual pre-race show nonsense which I often skip, but given the very mixed bag of participants and cars it's probably worth it to tune in early this time.

    It's a pretty easy race to follow even at night now, with all the lighting around the track - not like when I went and watched it live in '79.

    My only gripe.....do they pay the broadcasters by the word? These guys never shut up!

    If it gets annoying, try muting the TV and listening to the Radio LeMans audio for a while. They're motormouths as well but at least it's a different group of them. :D
