I think Buckler had the odds stacked in his favor LOL.

Funny you mention that JGM, when I was talking to one of the mazda guys he pointed at the list of drivers on the 70 car and said "...that's our best chance right there, all the porsche teams have one or two great drivers and one rich guy who don't know **************** and were counting on that..."

We were walking the garages in the late evening and there were way too many cars being worked on for it being so early in the race.

If anyone is interested you can follow the link to my photos from this past weekend:

The Continental Tire race on Friday was fun, there were three boxsters entered among a very wide variety of other makes and models!

Well said about the Lizards owner. He can't handle the pace in GT class let alone a DP. Even if they didn't have any bad luck I still beleive they didn't have a chance with the owner being part of the rotation.

Too bad as the first couple of hours clearly shows they had the fastest car out there.

A good race. Porsche went 1&2 in GT class while Ganassi (BMW/Riley) went 1&2 in DP. Ganassi is tough to beat in any series but Juan Pablo Montoya almost ditched the 02 car by overdriving and knocking the nose off the car three (3) times... sheesh! Good comeback by the rest of the team. Our local driver in the Royal Purple Boxster was forced to withdraw early from the Conti. 200. I hope to see them next Saturday to get the details.
