Default Rolex GT and Speed Touring running at same events three times this year!

Homestead - March 24-25

Limerock - May 26-28

Watkins Glen - June 9-10

Ian Baas (Stasis Audi in WC and a Porsche team I cannot name yet in Rolex GT) will be a busy puppy!

Pobst will be running both races at Watkins as well!


Coolness!

Default Cool, those dates are not officially released yet, it seems.

I can't find the full WC schedule, only the partial one that was released in Nov.

Koni Challenge (Grand Am Cup) will also be at Lime Rock on that weekend in May.

Default Schedule for WC was finalized Dec 14 at PRI. Official release is Jan 1, from what I hear.

The Speed Limerock race is only for TC's. GT cars won't be there. They run two separate races this year (Long Beach and Charlotte).

Interestingly, Speed does not go to Road America this year.

Also cool is WC running at Watkins in support/with Rolex for a loooooong race (6hrs, I believe, if memory serves me right).

Default Ah, nice.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Rolex at Watkins is 6 hours again.

So the Lime Rock weekend will be GT, TC, GS and ST. Cool, I'm hoping that means that the cameras will be there.

I'm hoping there is another cell tower in operation when we get there!

Default Was there twice this year and once last year and Cingular works great. Of course, Nextel

is their home tower (Nascar).

Cingular gets five bars on our phones. Who's your provider?

Default I'm in Sebring right now.

I'm used to never having cell service at the track.

I think I always had service in Sebring. Speaking of Sebring, when's the 12 hour this year?

Default I heard Pobst was planning on running a 3-rotor RX8 in Rolex next year...true?

if so, I am very excited. I'll probably plan to check out an event (Laguna?), since I've never made it to a Rolex/Grand Am event before.
