The boys of the American LeMans series raced this past weekend at Sears Point (Infineon Raceway, can't bring my self to call it that though :angry2: ) for the Grand Prix of Sonoma! There was some great racing in all the different classes! Road course racing at it's finest!
My cousin is a mechanic on the Flying Lizard porsche team so that was fun to see him bustin his tail!
Did anyone else go???? :confused:
I took a ton of pictures but havent looked through them all yet. So heres just a couple! :)

Yes they are!! Hopefully they can keep it going, the talent is there, just got keep some good wheels under him.

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that your worked for CRG. His uncle Pat still karts a lot so I go out with them every once and a while. Funny thing is last time I went out with Patrick he jumped in an older 80 and I was in his 125; AND THAT BAST*RD STILL SMOKED ME!!! He gave me the go and by the second lap he was right on my ass. I remember thinking I could out break him at the end of the long straight. Man, I was guarding the inside line and stayed on the gas until I couldn't stand it anymore :eek: and as soon as I got on the brakes he came sliding past me on the outside :hammerhea . He is one fast mofo.
Do you kart much? I am think of picking up a clean 125 because that damn 80cc Tibby ain't cuttin' it when I go out with them. Let me know if you come across any clean 125's

Thats funny lol, Patrick was and still is the best driver we ever had. Every once in a great while I get a nice shifter in, I know Racer277 has a clean shifter for sale, I think Its a Heron with a CR125.
