Default 24 hours of le mans

anyone checking out the new r10 deisel audis in the 24 hours? they look quick, i'm sure they're reliable and you can't even hear the things go by. 650 hp and 800 lb ft of tourque and the engine is almost silent. crazy. check it out on speed if you get a chance.

ROFL! The announcer just tried to say "It's going to be a slow and steady race", but instead said, "It's going to be a slutty race, er Slow and steady race". I'm just waiting to see the Audi.

audis are first and second now. the pescalaro judd is in third and fourth. i guess they're a private team from france. the corvette is running first in its class. that's a sweet looking car.

pjtocci, if you wanna fly in from mass you are more than welcome to hang out and watch. bring some beers with you.

Watching from work (Security Officer), on satellite TV. Since I work @ a Gov't contracted office suite, you lucky Americans are paying my $15.00/hour salary wityh your tax dollars. THANKS!!! Know that I appreciate your individual contributions to my welfare, as I sip on some leftover Margharita mix from the office party they held yesterday, and watch TV on YOUR dime. Is this a GREAT country, of what?
