Default Audi R10's At Petit

This is good news. A real duel in P1. No doubt this will roll into Laguna as well. Maybe the Captain can dust off the RS Spyders for the finale as well. So we'll see SeaBass in one of the Pougeots?

don't you mean R15's I'm really trying to get down there.
It's almost a replay of Sebring

R15s you mean. And yes it's good news, though I disagree, there's definitely some doubt about Laguna. Last year Pug came to Petit and not Laguna. I hope Audi and Pug both run Laguna, it would be a strong finish to a relatively thin ALMS season.

I can't think of another ALMS race that was cut in half and canceled due to weather. "Worst race weekend ever" might be completely accurate.

Of course, "Best first half of a stopped race ever" is also pretty accurate.

Going to Sebring in 2010 unless Florida washes away. I guess their rainy season doesn't start till April of May.

Agreed.

The only time I notice ALMS in detail is when Audi & Peugeot show up. I was prepared for a nice long day of Audi vs. Peugeot, and then....

notta.
