I'll be watching and/or listening on satellite radio tomorrow. Wow 1-2 pole. Way to go Corvette team. Of course, I'm also just as excited about the Audi-Peugeot rivalry. Should be a good race this year.

BTW, this is where GM's racing efforts should really go. This is real racing - high speed, acceleration, braking, and both left AND right hand turns. And the cars are often production based and unique to the manufacturer, none of this cookie-cutter crap with headlight decals from a production car that is nothing like the race car. And along with performance there is an emphasis on efficiency and durability. Endurance road racing, and all road-racing for that matter, is extremely relevant to making better production cars.
