Hi Warren,

That web site is run by me - it's slow making money right now so I use it for the mega bandwidth I get with my hosting account

Do you provide a wedding service in VT and would you like to place an ad with me to help support my bandwidth?

Good news for the Dyson boys, especially Butch. Maybe now they wont have to worry about their stablemates punting them from behind.

Corsa will be running a factory backed Zytek hybrid LMP1 starting at PLM.

Looks like its going to be a KERS system like F1 will use.

EDIT

Also De Ferran Motorsports and Patron Highcroft Racing will run Acura LMP1s and Fernandez will stick with LMP2 for next season.

Great story. Made for a terrific race to watch. Much more fun than Detroits.
