I'm looking forward to seeing the Acura LMP1 this year. In fact LMP1 in 2009 looks like it could be the most exciting in the ALMS for quite some time.

Almost, but it always seems most at home on a GT40 or Porsche 917.

The new Aston Lola does look great though!

I'll be at LB, Lime Rock and hopefully Mid OH. PM me if you make it to Lime Rock, NYC Metro should have a good size convoy up to the race. Plus you'll get to meet GPMike.

That's it, Mid-Ohio is my 1st choice...



I used to love driving Mid-Ohio, and I camped there for many a Camel Continental. Primarily I'm looking to replace my camping trip at Indy F1, and I've never been thrilled with camping at Lime Rock.

Plus, if I do Mid-Ohio, I can stop in and see my Grandfather's old MG TC racecar, and check out the Allard J2 that has just been added to the collection.
