Great win for NHL, it was great to see Justin mention Paul Newman in his post race. He hasn't been with the team that long, but I'm glad he gave Paul one more win....

 

That was a nice mention by Justin. I heard Newman was ill, not sure how serious but the man is getting quite old. Haas is hysterical with his big ass cigar

I was hoping Helio was going to get the extra 10 points though Only mechanical failure or driver error is going to prevent Dixon from winning the championship.

Colin, I love your avatar photo!!

 

Paul Newman is gravely ill and not expected to live past September.

Tadashi, that avatar pic is soooo old! It is of our first S2000 and taken with a cheapo fixed focus digital back in 1999. I found it on a old hard drive just before reformatting it and saved the batch. Unfortunately, the resolution is barely 1k at something like 480 pixels. Too bad, pics like that don't come up too often....

 

Sad news about Paul Newman

Dario Franchitti is going to drive for Chip Ganassi next year...

Dario Franchitti back to where he belongs after a stint as a taxi driver is good news

Maybe he'll get some seat time with Scott Pruett at the 09 Rolex 24

 

I'm so sick of hearing the term "making fuel"........

 

As a fan of Dario, i doubt hell be back in the 24 hours next year. Being w/ the team at the race this year, Dario was extremely slow. And after Memo Rojas, Draio drove the least amount of time. JPM was put in the car in the night early because and i quote from Tim: "get Juan ready Dario's too ****ing slow". Another funny quote of the day was Tim to Memo "remember memo your here to drive not race."

 

Glad Dixon won, he obviously deserved the championship. Would have been cool if he got the 7th win too.

 

Glad Helio took the race. He deserved it.
