            No and this one is getting a wrap at the track, so alas the flat black won't last forever!

                Trust me---their wont be a car in the field that doesn't finish unscathed---the Ferrari is going to get smacked around during the race for sure. I think SPEED TV is covering like 16 hours of it---should be entertaining...

                  When is the race on tv? I would like to tune into it for some of it anyways
                  I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                    I'll check for sure tonight, but coverage should start on Saturday around noon and finish Sunday---I heard like 16 hours total---you can also go to live timing and scoring on the grand-am site and see live lap times and positions/passes/race notes in real time...Cool stuff! My Porsche Boxster is racing on Friday in the Continental challenge race---it's the #86 Royal Purple Prey Racing Porsche driven by Chris Prey and Gene Sigal---it should run in the top 10---it was very strong in the roar before the 24 practice.

                      Race starts at noon on Saturday (Speed channel) and runs on and off (16 hours of TV coverage) through Sunday at noon.

                      Long day for those guys at Daytona---parts didn't arrive in time here in California from Italy so they had them sent to Florida and opted to not run today (missing the 1st qualifying session and 3 practices) and get the car squared away for tomorrow...probably a smart move---poor crew is getting thrashed by now! My Boxster ran strong all day in ST---saw them around the top ten in most sessions allthough they qualified 16th I believe---they should be strong for the race tomorrow!

                        Next year, we ARE there... Wouldn't be the first time I've lost sleep to have fun at the track!!

                          It doesn't look good for them to sort out the problems by tomorrow. They ran around 20 laps today throughout the various sessions and couldn't get the brain working correctly...They're trying but have limited parts available in the country...My boxster drove up to 13th place in the beginning of the Continental Challenge race before jumping the restart and then finally losing a clutch master cylinder causing them to retire...DRATS!! Not a great weekend so far in Daytona! Congrats to rumbum---passed on the second to last lap for the win!!!

                              Darn!!! Just pulled this off the Grand-am Website---they're going to run in the back-up car...

                                One of the Ferrari websites got a photo of the car during qualifying...sure looks better than it performed. I hope I get to keep working on this one, there's a ton of things I'd like to do with it (given time).
