LMPGT GT.jpgSixth and seventh, out of a starting field of 8 in LMGTE PRO. Regardless, it was still great to meet up with the Texas forum guys. Thanks for the intro's Frank. And at least the spec series Ferrari Challenge race with 44 458 & 488's of mostly amateur drivers bang around a little made for some entertaining racing.

Hate to agree with anything related to Ferrari but you are correct! Glad you could make it out to COTA and it was nice to meet you.

Lousy race, but a fun day. The cowgirls took pity on several of us!

Great pictures guys. The race was hard to watch though. So down on power it was ridiculous.

Gentlemen,

Apparently the BOP wasn't quite right as the GT's didn't finish dead last. A further reduction for Ford to about 275 HP should insure they don't beat anybody while still providing enough power to drive up the ramp into the trailer. Perhaps this fiasco of ever changing adjustments to weight and power is the best way to run sports car racing and a standard unchanging uniform set of rules for everyone isn't but I'm not buying it.
