As usual we have a loyal diehard contingent of GT Forum members at COTA

So some good news for you Le Mans fans. Carol with the U.K. Ford team said that Ford will definitely have a hospitality suite again next year (2018) and she said I could quote her.

Dr. Frank could care less about the Race and I don't blame him. A lot more fun to hug the Preties and stay indoors and forget the race. Ford is totally Noncompetitive!

This was a disappointing set up today. Tha grid walk was on the track, not pit row and you had to walk in AND out by the media center. It was a very long walk around back to the grandstand. There were no booths or displays at the plaza, AND they had kid soccer games going on up at the grassy areas around the plaza. Minimal food booths. Despite working on it for many months already, the go cart track is still not in place and the front is still torn up. The crowd was nowhere near what it was for IMSA last May. On the good side, we did meet JByrnes from CO. Disappointing race as well.

Fun to see the gang, otherwise a waste of time. Lose BOP or try to race in another class.

I hate to be the one to ask, but I was unable to find the race on TV.. (I don't watch ESPN anymore) and could not find on Fox Sports..
So, HOW DID THE FORD GT"S DO ???

COTA is a disaster.

COTA is a disaster.

The parade lap fiasco when we were there was a perfect example of poor organization.
