So instead of live Le Mans action we get a replay of leg one of the Acropolis Rally; ARCA, Motorsport Mundial, taped Totyota Atlantics and 3 hours of Consumer Product Showcase . What I wouldn't give to meet Libertore on the street right now. According to the official entry list Dick Barbour didn't make the cut, they may have been on the reserve list however. FWIW the '01 GT pole sitting Calloway Corvette didn't get a entry either Matthew W. Campbell-- bigMoney Racing --1999 SVT #220 "NT4UA" /O.Z.

Bob Actually one just had an electrical fire during the first qualifying session! Good 'ol GM reliability. Some Results from first qual: 1) LMP 900 Dome S101/Judd--Racing for Holland--Jan Lammers--3.31.355 2) LMP 900 Audi R8--Audi Sport NA--Johnny Herbet--3.36.291 3) LMP 900 Audi R8--Audi Sport Team Joest--Tom Kristensen--3.37.368 8) GTP Bentley EXP Speed 8--Team Bentley--Eric Van de Poele--3.40.141 11) LMP 900 Panoz LMP-01--Panoz Motorsports--David Brabham--3.42.518 22) GTS Ferrari 550 Maranello--Prodrive--Tomas Enge--4.01.087 24) GTS Corvette C5-R--Corvette Racing--Ron Fellows--4.02.758 So it seems as if the Dome/Judd might have some outright speed to compete with the Audi's but can they last. Ferrari is definitely bringing it to Corvette though!!! Cadillac :rolleyes: 2nd qualifying session starts at midnight track time, 3 central. Matthew W.

Mario hasn't been at Le Mans since '00 and even then it was a one-off; just too darn old. Matthew W. Campbell-- bigMoney Racing --1999 SVT #220 "NT4UA" /O.Z.
