Not a bad entry list, lots of quality there. A reasonable size too, 30 cars is just about enough but I woudnt want to see it dip below the 30 mark, still hopefully there could be a couple more cars on the grid before the end of the season.

Two Questions:
1. Who is the "Race Car Company"? It's listed as a Lola B2K/40 Millington.... 2. Where are AutoCon and Team Elite????? I'm assuming that this is a "Provisional" list of some sort....and not the "Final" list.... at least I hope it's not a "Fianl" list... That's depressing.... |

Tim, dont tell me ur suprised at this. The writting was on the wall at Sebring, I think most of us here knew that once the European season began and the European teams went back home the ALMS would have signifcantly reduced grids, we knew it was going to happen but I think nobody wanted to see it.
This is what happens when u have 2 rival series on 1 continent. Sure u can argue FIA GT's are in competition with the LMES, but only up to a point. 2 of the classess are the same, but there is onl 1 series for LMP's in Europe. Unlike America, DP's are Prototypes, of a sort after all. |

But AutoCon and Team Elite are both US-based...
They won't be running over in Europe.... I knew that the field would be smaller.... But I didn't think LMP1 and LMP2 would be that thin... Of course, I found out only today that Rand Racing has disbanded and that American Spirit basically has, too....as noted by Fogelhund in earlier posts.... That's Three of the LMP2s and Two of the LMP1s that I figured would be on the grid at Mid-Ohio.... |

Tim, a bit of good news. The entry list on dailysportscar.com is the same as the list on imsaracing.net of course, but on the DSC entry list it does say a couple more entries are expected in due course. So providing nobody pulls out we could have a grid of maybe 34/35, that woudnt be bad at all.

That looks better than 9 LMP cars total....
I would expect those two teams in LMP1 (AutoCon and Team Elite) to be on the grid....both seem very committed to the Series.... The three LMP2s missing are done....unless someone buys those cars... I wonder where the "Race Car Group" got their Lola Chassis???? I'd have to look back and see who ran a Millington engine in a Lola in the past for some clues.... |

I just remembered...didn't Marshall Cook Racing have a Lola with a Millington engine last year???
Please advise if any of you can confirm this... Thanks! |

Well a part of me wants to be doom and gloom, but Saleen is right. The grid may be smallish, but the quality is definitely there. The two Dyson Lolas, the Intersport Lola and the Audi will be entertaining. Throw in Team Elise and AutoCon (hopefully) and that's not a bad little LMP1 field. GTS is certainly looking better than it did. I'd like to see one 550 in their though. Maybe Baron Conor will come in for Petit and Laguna. And GT looks very solid.
All in all, less than I wanted, but good teams and cars. |

I hope someone from AutoCon, or some news, is available to say that YES they will be at MidOhio! (I am concerned that the snubbing from ACO may have been deliterious to their plans....). Last edited by skycafe; 14 May 2004 at 00:35. |

It was a contender under Matthews when it was being run by Riley & Scott . Ive yet to see another team run that car well !!!
Overall I reckon the ALMS grid is looking kinda sad . Its in need of some American manufacturers to support it better , I think . Shame !!! Audi will win , Intersport for 675 , Corvette for GTS and AJR for GT . Way too predictable for my liking !!! Hopefully some more to come , soon . Last edited by The Badger; 14 May 2004 at 06:11. |

Quote from an article on lmsr.net regarding American Spirit.
"We have shut down our racing operation and sold off our cars." So someone has purchased American Spirit's cars. They may yet turn up then? Here's the link to the article. http://www.lmsr.net/astruth.html |

One of them is the Miracle Motorsports entry....
The other Lola must have sold in the last month....because it was still listed for sale on their site, and the last "news item" they had was dated early April....and it was about working some sort of "marketing deal" with PDM Racing in the IRL to help them land a sponsorship for the "Indy 500".... But it would be nice to have someone show up with that car.... |

SpeedQuest has now put in a two-car entry for Mid-Ohio, in the former Zip Racing equipment. And the best news of all:
SHANE LEWIS WILL BE DRIVING ONE OF THE CARS! Check the details at www.rfmsports.com Last edited by Liz; 15 May 2004 at 11:33. |

I still can't believe Rand is already gone.
The entry list is terrible for the protos, no getting around it. The R&S MKIIIC was supposed to have an Elan for this race replacing the Lincoln, guess they decided to park it? |

"Don't know about AutoCon but recall that ah746 from Team Elite mentioned that they were aiming to install a Judd, which would require significant rebuild that may be schedule altering, and also were planning a relocate, which I imagine would be done before rebuild. So, that may go a long way to explaining their abscence."
Absolutely right in most respects about Team Elite... Although we are not installing a Judd.... |

Were are the US equivalents of Rollcentre, Lister, JOTA, Taurus, willing to challenge the best in LMP1?
Road racing seemingly does not have any strength and depth in the US.
