    If MINI USA had provided support to Randy at RSR I believe he would have continued with MINI and not switched to Honda. The expense of developing the Gen 2 at that time (because his Gen 1's were no longer allowed by rules) was too costly without manufacturers support. He got the support from Honda. Sarah and OT were starting to excel in the RSR MINI's.

    New and Old BMWs

    The new and old BMW race cars were on display last weekend at Amelia Island. A lot of technology has changed in the racing world in 40 years.

    The MINIs are scheduled to race at Sebring on Friday. Hope someone gets some photos to share with us.

    Wrote a nice email to IMSA today saying they are losing me as a fan since the TV coverage is so broken apart.

    Ask and you shall learn. I wrote back to the same guy that had replied to me before to ask your question and thank him for taking the time to reply to my earlier email.

    Detroit race is this weekend. Here's the race broadcast info. Looks like I can watch the qualifying live on line but since I don't get Fox Sports 2 I'm out of luck on the race until they make it available on line later.

    Don't forget, today's race at Road America starts at 3PM (E). Fox Sports 1 and, hopefully :fingerscrossed:, streaming on imsa.com.

    Don't anyone tell me who wins. I've got it DVR'd, just got into the first half hour and I had to switch to watch the Dodgers. Looked like some "Extremely tight motor racing!" I'll pick it up in a couple hours...

    I don't like the look of that trench they dug to divert water at turn 10. Fingers crossed it doesn't cause something disastrous for someone who runs wide.

    Seems Ganassi Racing has dumped old Memo for Joey Hand. Memo is now driving the Delta.

    When ever I hear Joey Hand's name mentioned the picture of his BMW doing endo rolls comes to mind. One lucky guy for sure.

    No matter what you think of the Delta, this is a fun ride (IMO). I think the camera location is part of it but who knows?

    It's less than an hour before the Daytona 24H start. Here's another update on Memo Gidley's recovery since his crash in the 2014 race. I say this every time I read another update but I can't believe all he's had to go through. He's getting there, though. He's determined and I think that has a lot do do with his progress.
