Default I am insanely jealous I didn't get Werner to sign my dash at the LB event. I could

have switched the panel to my new car, same color.

Default Yes, I do mean it...it is not a problem to take it with me. And I can get them all

to sign it or just the driver you want. Actually it is Michael Galati and Randy that signed my dash and engine cover. It has held up really well. We just used a silver sharpie. The Petit is Oct 2-6.

Default Its all about the $$$ for Bernie we just race IMSA GT3 cup at Indy and .......

I think that Bernie is nuts not to bring F1 to the USA .. What will come of it at Indy is yet to be determined..

One of the drivers at a press conference I attended mentioned we should have 2 US F1 races the country is that big and the drivers love coming here.

One thing I didnt like about the event, although we were the bastard step children of the weekend with IMSA Cup.

The drivers were not allowed to have any in car camera's to record there races. This was a ruling sent down by F1.
Which in my opinion is just BS. You can come and race at our event but you cant record it ..

UGH!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.gmgracing.com">http://www.gmgracing.com</a</li></ul>

Default The GT3 cup has more action than some of the F1 races ;-)

But you are absolutely right, not allowing to tape your own race should be protested by every team.
I hope the FIA or Bernie put down some compensation for this nonsense ;-)

In almost every Rally I drove, everything was recorded for various reasons; either technical analysis, suspension setup or driver/navigator "education" or lessons learned, it is a vital support piece used by most teams.
