6 hours of Infineon
ok, i was in drivers teaching class drying to get my permit, so then i can LEGALY have fun in parking lots with my dads friend SVT cobra mustang, but the video we watches started Lyn St. James at Infineon, racing some kind of Ford race car, what was it? what was the race called? and could ALMS make there visit instead of a 2 hour and 45 minute race into the 6 hour race?

ALMS are not going to go back to Infineon next year. (90% certain)

That's a damn shame. I recall very fondly McNish's performance there in 2000 when he was just so much faster than anyone else it was like he was in a different race.

well, with only 12,000 people at the ALMS event this year at Infineon,, it doesnt cut it. thats one of the main reasons; the poor audiences in the past few years.

The logical racetracks to drop are those that don't provoke a lot of fan interest. Compared to some sprints (eg. Mosport), the attendance figure mentioned by 19dodge for Infineon is pathetic. |
