Default Mosport ALMS Weekend Pics

I went up to the track today for a couple of hours and wondered around. Not much going on, teams setting up their paddocks and getting the cars setup, great day for pics and talking to crew members as they are pretty relaxed today.
The Corvette corral is much smaller this year, the fence ends at the top of the hill instead of at the bottom of it as in the past years.
Entrance to Corral:

Where is everyone?

Thought I'd trim the grass while I was there.

Crew member joked about taking my Corvette hat away before I could go in and take pics.

I just noticed, I'm a sponsor of this car. Lower right front end.




Stopped to talk shop with the safety team guys.

Something I didn't know - but learned watching the last ALMS - the Mazda LMP2 cars are turbo 4 cylinder engines - making I think 650hp!!!

Nice!!

Default Day Two


How did this guy get in here?

I swear, they just keep following me around.




I think Steve is talking Ferrari.

John lining up the perfect shot.

Cars coming off the track after the testing session.

Earlier in the day, we shot into PP and stopped by Powell's, check out Dave's sweet chevy fleetside...









Here's a classic case of customer abuse...









John had a "clunk" he couldn't find and had Devon check it out. Not only was the "clunk" fixed, but John got some beefier sway bars and new tie rod ends to boot How's that for service



John's hood liner, at lunch he shared with us his horrific experience on 9/11. Amazing story John It gives the phrase "Never Forget" a whole new meaning to me
