Looks like the ALMS Corvette Factory GTS team will field a 3rd Corvette C5-R for the ALMS race later this month in Sonoma. The co-drivers will be none other than Boris Said and Dale Earnhardt Jr.!!! Now if that's not reason enough to go, I don't know what is...
Also, Chevy/ Corvette is promoting the event among many different corvette clubs, so chance are, it will be a corvette car meet at infineon, with an ALMS race on the side...(Not sure what to think of that) Hopefully a few noisy Subarus won't ruin their weekend. Anyway, just wanted to pass that along...

I watched Boris come in second in a race this week. Damned if I can remember which one though.

Well, does this mean we can go to the S-Squared dyno day?
Or is Star Mazda and Speed TC good enough reason to miss it?

Saw video of Jr's crash in practice... that fire looked pretty scary, it completely engulfed him in the cockpit.
