Infineon and other places and races
There’s a rumor out there that the ALMS is “close” to an agreement to return to Infineon Raceway (Sears Point for you purists and old folks) in 2011.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City’s council has authorized “negotiations” to obtain a 2011 ALMS street race – following in the tradition, Murphy supposes, of Miami, Trois Rivieres, Houston, Detroit, and St. Pete. More about such things from the Bear’s friends here at The Last Turn Clubhouse. (more…)

Thank someone (S.A.?) for Peugeot. Otherwise, there’d be little of interest in this LMP1 entry. Of course, the rumor was (and Murphy is big on rumors) that Peugeot is the reason there’s no Audi, the Frog firm having nixed an ACO plan to approve a “transitional R15.”
Six cars will race in three packs as (different than three six packs), the first of which will be comprised of two Peugeots. (more…)

Rolex Recap
The top two at the Rolex once again came from Murphy’s top 5. After putting both Ganassi cars on the list (a bit of a no-brainer, even if your head is stuffed like a mattress), plus Brumos and two-time Grand Am Champion GAINSCO, the Bear mused in Paddock Poop 152 about the fifth, finally settling on the No. 9 Action Express because it fit all three Bear rools. Including the one about established teams, since in crew, staff, and owner, it was largely the “other” Brumos entry, the one vacated by the accused Daytona Beach druggie.

It’s time – after much procrastination and with a healthy dose of prevarication – for the Bear to make his first prognostication of the likely Sebring grid. (more…)

January
Murphy, A.C., and Katrina Flood brought you right into the action at the Daytona 24, as AC calls it, “the World’s Greatest Race.” This time it almost was, with the Bear (a “Daytona Denier”) on the edge of his seat (with the rest of you – admit it), over the final hour and last laps.
