    Quiet? The R-8 was the quietest full blown race car I have ever heard and they say the R-10 is more so.

    Would it be Les Boogita?

    I'm enjoying the coverage but it would be nice if we could see some other cars in the field besids the LMP class.

    Well, you do...as the LMPs pass them! LOL!

    I guess they always follow the lead.....at last they periodically recap the classes.

    You beat me to it, Nascar needs their own channel but if wasn't for them there most likely will be no SPEEDTV, Le mans, F1 coverage, etc....

    Why don't they (TV execs) use FOX and F/X to broadcast their NASCAR racing and keep SPEED to broadcast F1, Sports Car, etc. ?

    For the love of God, can you please go back to Le Mans coverage? I can really care less about Busch qualifying.

    You are NOT helping Phil..........LOL!

    At least with all those spare parts and molds I'd be set for awhile...the Hare Krishna Temple would love hearing THAT, head out as they chanted the service....eh?


    VROOM VROOM!

    That's actually a good price considering what the local FoH wants for his 575GTC.......as in "Not for sale" at any price!
