There is probably a backstory here which rationally explains that comment ... but I think i prefer the mystery.

Yup, mysteries are sometimes better than the truth.

In this case, yes the mystery is much better than the actual story.

I've always thought this forum could use more bath salts. Might be more productive then occasionally locking a thread.

Somehow this reminds me of a few times on Murphy the bear(or somewhere else) where he would make the distinction between the beer and brat crowd and the wine and cheese group.

I think it's safe to say it's now the patron and bath salts crowd.

Ah that's a bit of a shame, IMO. That was one of the most unique liveries I had seen in a long time. I loved the reversed colors on each car.

I like the metallic liveries but prefer the others; they were busy, but it worked well.

Agreed, up to a point, where we are "holding a beer and watching this." And it's usually me being watched...

And that's all there is in Elkhart Lake, right? Beer and brats?

I basically am walking through one cobweb after another these days. I wish i was speaking figuratively there. On the Acura livery front, I didn't even remember seeing that car that JHammy posted. I remember the sister car, and the stars and stipes theme of the last two races, but not that one for some reason.

I hope they can have a couple clean races. They have had another tough season dealing with crash damage.

And the second part of the Penske rumour is actually confirmed: they will enter a standard LMP2 Oreca 07 at Petit Le Mans this season, to get the team personnel into race-readiness.

Montoya, Castronevss and Pagenaud would be a fun line-up for Petit.

Yep. Saw that above.

Wonder who might have been driving today, how much more they'll test as there's plenty of time between now and the first weekend in October.
