On a dry Sunday after a wet Saturday at Road Atlanta, a “full house” was on hand to test the Challenge LMP. One from the dark side there only to report to the Dark Lord of the Sith, (he who rules on the Peninsula to the south). (more…)

141. Sith Apprentice lurks at RA, Rolling, the Lola DP fracas, Airport Battle
Monday, October 5th, 2009137. Audi, Porsche, Acura and….Maserati? War in North America.
Thursday, August 27th, 2009After suggesting Ferrari teams wouldn’t field 2009 F430’s while waiting for new cars, Murphy was told to expect the Italian cars on the Sebring grid. (The Bear doesn’t bury his corrections.)
2010 Schedule and other Relevant Stuff
Murphy wrote about schedule rumors in his last Poop. Did you connect the dots? (more…)
129. The big one, underwear, Green Park(s), rules and classes.
Thursday, June 25th, 2009Murphy had almost forgotten the IRL scribe’s penchant for tossing out ”the big one” – almost. So it really wasn’t a big surprise when he floated a rumor that Grand Am would purchase/had purchased the ALMS.

101. Acura Up or Down? More Porsches. Aero Balance. The Bear Loses it (over engines).
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008The Porsche GT2 field – for Sebring and beyond – seems to be growing.
The Bear hasn’t been very positive about VICI Racing in the 2009 season; after all, they didn’t do a full season in 2008, and rarely fielded the hoped-for two cars. But they are reported to have entered two cars at Sebring, and are expected in some quarters to contest the remainder of the season.
The report of a Falken-sponsored Porsche 911 GT3 has been ‘confirmed’ by a second source, so we’ll now put that one in the ‘probable’ column. (more…)
