I'll be throwing 8 of these in Noose's box of trinkets I'm sending out on Monday
to give out as little pre-race prizes to the 8 teams.

They might be useful for a LeMan's start, especially if Ray "Gaga" Carlisi leads off for
the "Katzenjammer Kids". :)

Hey, I've been intending to get out to Speedzone and put in a couple hours' much-needed familiarization time, but life/work/family/OLD SUBARU got in the way! My new option's to drive down after work on Friday & camp out--what's the track & the business gonna be like that night? Can I get on for a while?

I would call SpeedZone first before going down friday night. They might be cleaning and getting the track ready for the race on friday night, and may not want a lot of cars on it.
They usually open at 7AM for a retro east race. I'm guessing it will be the same for the enduro . You could get some track time then.

Except he didn't win; the team he sub'd for finished 2d to another Gulf 917 team car. His job was to push the Ferrari down to 3d.

Yeah, he took one for "the team".

Did about the same as McNish this year, let a back marker take him out...

Haven't we all had that happen to us in slot racing... :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

The Enduro Boxes are all closed and sealed. Time marches on.

Can the teams perform as well as the Audi team as seen in Truth in 24? Have they practiced their pit timing? How fast can they rebuild those transmissions?

Hey Jay, you got plenty of tires in stock? Running the equivalent of 15 mains, we're gonna need them!
