You can take in the history anytime by visiting (the restaurant etc.) but you have to sleep in the crappy rooms.

PS: I stay in the real cheap junk at Knights Inn or Motel 6.

Eddie did send out an inquiring e-mail to our R53 friends about your pads.
Thanks, Eddie. I also have an unused set of Carbotech Bobcats (1521) for street use. Bought them last month and never got around to installing them.

s-driver and Eddie,

Ian sent this this video link of his race from last year. It is mostly warmup and lots of cautions for almost 45 minutes. But between minute 4-8 of the video, it gets pretty exciting when they start racing. In lap 1, he manages to pass two cars going into and out of the bus stop at WGI. He started 12 in SSM and came in first.

Time to get ready for LRP. Final count looks like suss, VV, s-driver, Eddie, and myself. Anyone else going?

I will be there around 7:00 am or so. First person to arrive should establish a beachhead.

Was hoping to get there and hang with you guys but we are falling behind a bit on the GT1 car and I need to be in the shop tending to that. Have a blast! I wouldn't doubt that one or two ALMS cars will be there. Unmuffled days with Ian are a blast.

Since you are there, why not consider doing a couple of days with Claymore and I.

I prefer to give my business to Ian. I think he is running two days at $550.

I saw one totaled at LRP a few years back. Hit the wall after the uphill. I Think he was a little too fast and sideways at the crest and spun.

Those were some mighty fast cars out there. 47 secs per lap for LRP during practice.

First time I have seen him lapped three times at LRP in a twenty minute session by the P1 prototypes.
