With all the LMP attrition expected, this was the veteran team I thought would be least likely to have problems.

@FLRacingFan and @AdoubleU24

What are we eating for breakfast? I'm starving yo.

Red Bull. Lol. I usually hate the stuff but you’re right, exhausting race to attend. Gonna knock one of those back and shower and head to the track for the rest.

All five of the LMP2s that are retired or down a bunch of laps I would’ve expected the ones to contend the most. The nature of endurance racing.

Takeout from First Watch looks good, outside of turn 3 on international speedway blvd.

Look at this loser.

@ChexOrWrex First Watch is amazing, pricey, but great food.

Casa de Waffle scattered, smothered, and covered.

Full course caution in the middle of DPi pit cycle.

 

[Kiante]

GTLM is small, but mighty as hell.

They really nailed the BOP for this race.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Haven’t woken up in the morning and this many Dpis were still in contention in a while

I'm a bit impressed the new team / manufacturer combos are competitive. I expected more of a learning curve for 01, 10, and 60.

Still doesn't work. I mentioned it on a Bob Pockrass tweet and Spectrum sent me the usual apology and send us more info bullsheet. Nope. Time to pull the plug. Going streaming only. Found on my other Roku TV, which is connected to outdoor OTA, it downloaded a bunch of streaming channels. I mean A BUNCH. So...internet and probably YouTube TV are coming my way. Maybe 30 bucks cheaper than my current deal.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Does anyone know the difference between LMP2 and LMP3?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but LMP3 is more “amateur invitational” than LMP2.

 

[donthaveanickname]

LMP3's are smaller and have weaker engines.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Tom Kristensen’s man cave is badass as hell

 

[Kiante]

LMP3's are smaller and have weaker engines.

They are loud as hell though, they have a much deeper tone compared to the LMP2 and reminds me a lot how the Cadillac and C7.R sounded. Like a mix between them, a very deep tone.

Spectrum Cable NBCSN in Raleigh NC has been broken for more than a week. Just pathetic. It's pixelating horribly and no sound. Couldn't watch the SX race either. Tried rebooting the box couple times. I'm about due to shut it all down anyway. Maybe next week is the time. Had two year no raise deal. It expires sometime soon. I'll not use their TV service again. Been horrible the whole 2 years. Had 5 different techs out which changed everything 5 TIMES! Works OK for maybe a month. JUNK! Time to cut the cord.

I have had similar problems in Charleston as well

 

[Old Kid]

I eat at Bob every chance I get, which isn't often. Fried mush, and biscuits with that terrific sausage gravy.

Oh yeah!

I tried streaming with YouTube TV and found it too cumbersome for my liking and so stayed with cable for now. YMMV.

I see that 62 Ferrari is still in the mix, they've had quite the race.

 

[Turtle84]

Ah no 31 Whelen DPi with problems, stuck in 3rd gear

 

[aunty dive]

Gearbox issues for the 31.

Nothing better than V8 engines.
I'll never forget the feeling of the grandstands almost vibrating with 40 cars flying by at once during the cup race I got to attend at Pocono 2017.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not often that Cadillac are the ones with reliability problems.

 

[Kiante]

Huh, just saw Rick Ware.

Walking back to the hauler.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Chase hates it for his gears.

 

[Turtle84]

Magnussen full send over the bumps

Oof, this in front of the 31 garage:

There we go, can't even get a decent shot...

Show those peasants your bag.

Its in the car...lol.

Chase was giving an interview below the Fan Zone. Never ceases to amaze me how open the IMSA garage is for the fans.

 

[nickp]

This race is fantastic

It can't be worse than Spectrum.

1. DVR---attempted to delete programs as far back as May of 2020. Says it's done. Nope. 59% full and scrolling up.
2. Frequently at boot-up, TV can't see the cable box. Have to cycle the box on 3 times to get a connection. Black screen (usually twice), snowman shoveling snow in a snowstorm, then TV says "No connection (is it on)?" Whe it finally connects the DVR makes sounds like it lacks oil pressure. Lots of grinding and popping of hardrive.
3. Current start-up channel is CNN. At least 4 times a week, has message that "your TV supports a higher resolution, do you want to update"? Say yes every time. At the point I'm at HHHHHHHDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRR 99.09.
4. Frequently loses channels. Just has an error code and guide gets shrunk by half. Normally unplug everything for a minute and it's back up.
5. Channels pixilating and no/poor sound. Absolutely no better "connection" than OTA antenna.

I suspect many of the issues ARE the DVR/Box. But if I have to drive 15 miles to get to an office you can get inside in less than 2 hours I'm turning all their stuff in. I suppose I could try to get them to send me a replacement? I originally did the self install. It's one coax, one HDMI and power connection. Meh. Will see Monday.

This. Changes. Everything.
