MASSIVELY bummed there are no WCGT cars this year.

But the "Porsche" class in ALMS will be good.

I wish Sebring would sell me a ticket for Friday only. I would go over there to watch the WC opener.

I will probably only go Friday and Saturday to the SPGP. Possibly go to the Gainesville event on Sunday then.

Partnerships. Previously St Pete was CART which has a partnership with World Challenge (GT and Touring). This year SPGP is IRL which has a partnership with ALMS.

umm, no 2005 & 2006 were also IRL

the 2006 long beach gp was cart, but speed was there also.

it might be on an alternating schedule what venues the speed challenge races are at. i think they have a few tracks they do every year & then just alternate between others.

I was pissed last year about the ticketing. To get Friday you have to pay for Wed-Sat. I ended up doing it, but... lame.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I stand corrected. I remember seeing that bitch Danika last year.

What I read was the IRL signed a deal to run with ALMS this year. Who knows? It's not like the media ever gets anything wrong.
