This ain't been used for awhile!

I kinda thought Lewis had been watching too much Nascar with a few of his passes Sunday Quite a few close calls going on there towards the end.

And how about a Welcome to the new Mod... Rich from the UK!

Rich can you fly me over for Silverstone next year?

I may try General admission at the Glen next time Doug. It was great at Lime Rock and Mid-Ohio.

I might not be going to any big races next year. I think I am going to do more track days myself AND I would love to go and watch JFO race his S

If I had skipped Mid-Ohio this past weekend I could have seen him at PIR.

GA is often great, at The Glen you get pits Red/White/Blue which is outside Turn Two. The only special seat I will pay a premium for is the Ninety Granddstand, just outside Turn One.

And I may be dialing back my track ebents next year...

Oh man, I'm sorry about the news Silverstone is being pulled!

I'm 1.5 hours north of Watkins Glen. If I were to add it all up, I have well over 10,000 track miles there.

I genuinely don't think it will be.

Donington needs a lot of money spent on it and I think they will be very tight on time to get all the work finished. Plus the access into and out of the circuit is terrible.

I think it is a ploy by Bernie to ensure that Silverstone do commit to spending the money they need to, but have so far avoided.

Almost time to call it a day and turn on the World Challenge Touring car race that taped earlier. (It better have taped, anyway).

Saw it live at Mid-Ohio but I like to re-watch races even if I was there, especially if I am happy with the finish

A ploy by Bernie, surely you jest, he would never do something like that....

Well that's cool, me hopes your right, but then again, I actually believe F1 should have a US GP, so I guess that tells ya how dumb I am...
