Great news about Honda / Acura.
I checked the K-Pax website, and I doubt that they will race anything but a Volvo. |

P.S. congrats to Mike from me, too. It's been a pleasure hearing your views both here, and previously over at the ALMSfans forum. Go get 'em!!!!

PWC GT will be interesting to follow this year. However it was strange in 2013 to see the number of cars decreased a lot in the second half of the season.

The Acura TLX GT
Uses a stock block engine with stock crank,running the factory 3.5L displacement(instead of the 2.8L in the P2 engine) Pistons,rods and twin turbo hardware are the key changes.Will be in the 550hp range and most likely will need an air-intake restrictor to stay below 550hp. The AWD system will not have torque-vectoring. |

Thanks rwintle!
And just so nobody accuses me of posting bad info here, I just heard they aren't going to let us run the driver adjustable rollbars on the 458. Oh well, for sprint races it's not that big of a deal anyway and it saves some money. -mike |

That's good to see Tim Bergmeister entered. I didn't know that he had come back to racing since his crash at Fuji.

That is a nice looking entry list. I thought Acura was going to have more than one entry?

Perhaps it's for Nick Esayian, who has been a RealTime Acura driver for years.

I'd love to see Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge in the main class. Same for Audi and Nissan, which don't race in USCC GTLM and should be doing a pro championship.

Yeah Vipers have proven popular in the championship history so I can definitely see at least one person running one this year.

Jack Baldwin is my dad's age and has driven everything. Kudos to him!
Good looking grid and a great group of cars. Generally pull for the American V8s but I guess I'll be pulling for a certain Fiat driver too. |

Based on their history in Trans-Am and the IMSA GTO Skoal Bandit, you'd almost expect them to be racing Camaros. It's interesting how times change. Andy Flinn |

SRT Viper you say? So does this mean some factory support or just a GT3?

Wowowowoww I hadn't realized just how stacked this grid is in terms of quality of manufacturers and cars.
Really cool, I still wish they would come back to Lime Rock park for the Conti Challenge weekend in May. |
