I hope there aren't issues, but it is nice to hear it from the boss.

Not to be Mr. Complainer, but we had 32/33 cars. The 33rd car is T-Mobile Vici Racing. Hindy wouldn't hold his tongue if there wasn't a T-Mobile truck in the paddock that had no sign of a racecar in it. So what's the deal? Is the team there? Is the car there? We know Westbrook and Stuck are entered, will they race? Are the drivers at the track? I've had it with the failure to launch of this car. Here's hoping this is all terribly organized value-added racing and all will be forgot when T-Mobile checks start coming in.

Nice to see the Eco Radical got in 18 laps today. Hopefully, they will have it running for the race and make a decent show if it.

Let's hope so. Last time this team was at Laguna, they were a joke. They couldn't even pass a GT2 car.

Does anyone have a link to other photos of the 66? I can't view Dagy's photo at work and the ones on ALMS' and Speed's websites aren't great.

It looks absolutely fantastic btw...

What a gorgeous car, and what a gorgeous gesture. It says a lot about Gil's character that, on a day when the spotlight is justifiably shining on him, he has chosen to take that attention and shine it on someone else he feels indebted to. We benefit as well, as sportscar fans, because despite all the Indy success, we get to see a tribute to the glory days of our favoured discipline!

It finally kicked in, but there have been 2 red flags so far so there isn't much to watch!

This one due to - surprise - a Challenge car off...

de Farren seems like such a nice guy. Soft spoken in his interviews, so emotional after the win at the track (forgot which one) where his crew man was burned. He's a class act. Hope we have him around as a team owner for a long time.

Thank you!
Heck, the whole GT-2 field is covered by 1.875 seconds!!

Really good session for all classes, with about 3 full seconds to last years overall pole. Hope to see the performance stay close as the track speeds up.

Excellent job by the ACO? Not so much, but definately by IMSA.
