    I'm ready.
    My wife was somewhere the other night, called and asked me what basketball game I was watching.
    "None. I'm watching an IMSA season preview."


    I'm more than ready for the NHRA lidl lifter in March.

    Yep, that was it.
    GTD should get more love than it does.

    IndyCar. (Just wanted it mentioned on the first page of the thread.)

    Wild seeing a full-length Newgarden commercial during the Fox NFL games. If that makes the other drivers hate him even more, great.

    If Fox is going to be that committed to promoting the sport, it’s obviously really exciting for IndyCar. The cross-promotional possibilities for Fox are better than they were at NBC … not that NBC did much cross-promotion with IndyCar anyway.

    Not a fan of Will Buxton (newly-named Fox PBP guy) at all, but I get why Fox went that direction.

    Still a lot of challenges ahead for IndyCar, 2024 was a rough year for them off-track, but there are positive signs.

    The best place to watch the start of the Rolex 24 is at the barbecue place across the street.

    I'd take Hog Heaven on A1A across from the Hilton, but BBQ is subjective. Getting there for the start of a 24-hour race is never a priority.

    To me, LMP2 is pretty pointless. The entire purpose of the series is to showcase manufacturers, and it's essentially a crate series. GTP honestly doesn't do that. Thus, my earlier post about GTD and GTD Pro. From a manufacturer's standpoint, those should be the premier series in the world.

    Ford vs. Ferrari was a dick measuring contest at its finest.

    Last year when I bought my new truck, I wanted badly to buy a set of WeatherTech floor liners because I've always tried to support racing sponsors I like. Sadly, all my research drove me to a competitor because they were a better product. I'm super happy with my floor liners, but I wanted to support the series sponsor.

    One hour remaining at Daytona, two Porsches, BMW and an Acura remain on the lead lap. Fifty of the original 61 are still running? Wow, that's amazing lack of attrition.
