Wow he actually gets ut of the shop every once in a while. I figured between that & finding those few moments each day to be on the site he'd have no life. NOt a bad life dealing with Porsches all day I have to admit though! Hope you have a great time Brad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Isn't Brad working the Grand Am night race at Daytona? You could go visit him Karl. Only an hour away. Not sure what night it is, but you would have to infiltrate NASCAR occupied territory to find him! I wait until the track has sportscar races in February and November and the crowds are down, along with hotel rates.

Yup,

the race was Thursday nite, they showed it on SPEED yesterday at 3pm EDT. They showed the pitstop and how slow it was. Looked like there was some trouble with the vent hose.

oh, the Gunnar GT1 was equiped with a GT3R engine and suspension. At least that's what they said on TV during an interview. Kyle Petty ran as driver #3 for them.

Yep the Gunnar car isn't really a GT1
It's a tubeframe car with a GT1 body and like you said a GT3 engine
IIRC the gearbox is from a GT1

Still, you'd expect a car like that to do much better

Those Daytona prototypes from Brumos are soooooo ugly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

That was it. We had some problems with the fuel hoses and were not getting any fuel into the car. We got enough in to finish the race though. We thought that we were going to have to bring Randy in for a "splash and go" to finish the race.

I just got in. I'll have some pictures and the story a little later.
