Default 6 hours at the Glen, what a weekend!

Wow, that was a lot of racing! Saturday was the Grand-Am Cup (http://www.grand-am.com/grandamcup) day, with two 3-hour races (STI/STII and GSI/GSII) and a ferrari 360 challenge race, and sunday was the 6-hour Grand-Am/Rolex sports car (http://www.grand-am.com) race. While the ST classes were the "slowest" of the weekend, they put on a great show. A bunch of Type-Rs and LS's made for some good battles (OK, so I'm biased), and the King Motorsports Type-R spun on the frist lap, but took 3nd in class, which turned into 2nd after the winning Z3 was DQed. I watched as they pulled out the R's cams for inspection after the race (Dad: "That looks a lot like your engine..."). HART brought two RSX's, and 00 was having a great race untill it came in with LF suspension problems that put it a few laps down. No other Hondas to mention so I'll let you read about the rest on the sites

Speed Channel should be broadcasting the 6-hr race at some point, they were there in full force. Hopefully they can find a space between NASCAR Tech and NASCAR classics or something. I'm getting 4 rolls of film developed soon so I'll scan the good shots in and post 'em. And damn, I am burned to a CRISP


P.S.--the King Type-R DOESN'T use the m00gen socks on the resivoirs. And the only socks I saw the whole weekend were on an M3--and they were just white rags w/ rubber bands More fun tidbits later
