Murphy wrote in May’s Paddock Poop 190 that McDreamy would go LMP2 racing with Mazda, probably in the newly announced World Endurance Championship. A month later, Speedtv.com told you pretty much the same thing in an “exclusive.” (more…)

149. Murphy’s Expected Sebring Entry.

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

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…)
