The loss of the Generac sponsorship? Could that have something to do with the change in format? Or is it simply tough economic times?

Apparently Road America is not too pleased with the ALMS at the moment because it is not what it was in 2007 and 2008 competition-wise. With no ChampCar and an "ailing" ALMS they seem more content in pushing their historic races - could this be why the race is shorter?

Regardless, I will be tuned in all weekend and I will certainly enjoy every minute.

2.75 hours is hardly enough time to walk around the track to see all the corners!

But it will be interesting to see how the Vettes do on the long straights at RA. Also the Dyson v Cytoport v Fernandez battle should be another good one in P2.
