Default Anyone watching the Koni Challenge series?

I watched Leguna Seca this weekend, what an awesome race. I was kind of pissed off because world challenge sucks this year, but the Koni series seems to be better anyway. RIP Speed World Challenge.

Next race is
June 4 - 5 Watkins Glen International
Watkins Glen International - Long Course

Televised
6/14, 3:00 PM, SPEED

Mustang and a Civic for CA Sport, our mustang was retired a little over halfway through and the Civic finished 11th, it was the first race for the newly built car. The battle in ST was awesome between the Turner BMW and the Freedom Miata. Got to see that from the top of the pit box.

I like the Koni Challenge. But wait until GM shows up throwing money at it. If anyone can ruin a series it's those fuckheads.

I watched the last half of the race. And I saw part of the race in NJ a few weeks back. Very entertaining.

And what about Roush? I'm sure he could afford to drop more money in to the car his son is driving than GM at the moment.

Yes it is, but I'm talking about throwing money at the organizers and promoters.

Difference is ALMS has four classes making up a field of about 20 cars. WC runs two separate races for it's two classes. WC should probably consolidate GT and Touring into one race. Traffic is good.
