TMS in August might be the worst location I can think of for an endurance race in the US....

But TA cars have IRS, way more rubber relative to weight, limited slip diffs, and usually more than four forward gears. Cup cars are running the rear suspension off a Chevy truck with a Ford 9" axle stuffed with Detroit freaking locker, all being driven through a Richmond T10 four speed. They have no interest in…

I was in Indy for the SCCA runoffs this past weekend and the racing in the “ground thumper” classes (TA GT1 etc)was so great to watch. I just wish they had bigger fields at the event.

So far, we have allowed Brad’s account to stay.

No DFL Show mention in your credits? Might as well banish yourself from the show for another month....

I love it when the olds are wrong.

Here come the old heads complaining about drifting despite the majority of the pictures in this article being of the WTAC cars.

I guess I’m the first one here that’s actually familiar with this event. I haven’t actually seen it except for when Speedvision used to show highlights, but I don’t recall them doing something live. I love watching short track racing, but I’ll miss out on this one again due to these policies. I checked the official…

Agreed. The brand new turbo Fords and Ferraris will not last the 24 hours. They’ll lead off at the start and give people the Ford vs Ferrari pictures that organizers and casual fans crave, but the fight at the end will likely be between the very well-sorted C7 and 911.

Easily the highlight of the whole session. When interviewed, safety car driver Yannick Delmas said he drifted the car deliberately to determine the limits of safety for the racing machines. Hero.

One sentence really bugs me:

Glad to hear it. After attending my first race at Joliet last year, I was one of the builders and crew members for the Alfine, I definitely knew I wanted to get some HPDE experience before competing in LeMons. Hoping to finally participate in a race next year!

Thanks for sharing Stef. I was talking to you on twitter about this and I was hoping there’d be a long form article on it. Glad to hear you’re on the mend.

Scary stuff, Stef.
