- I just checked the Speedvision schedule on Time Warner Cable TV here in Los Angeles. The SCAA Runoffs go all day today (they're on right now). At 4-5 PM (P.S.T.) this afternoon they list the runoffs

- Yes, Tom Patton is in the GT2 race. I won't reveal the results, though. You'll have to tune in... Barry S. was not there though. My only beef with SpeedChannel is the number and frequency of commerci

- Be sure and watch the GT-2 race. Very good coverage of Tom and his so-called antique doing so well against the latest German and Japanese technology. It was also on Speedvision last month. Larry

- Thanks for the "Heads up". As I read it, I did the math for east coast time, and realized it was on RIGHT NOW. I just missed the first few minutes. They did have some nice things to say about the ant

- The announcers didn't mention it, but after Tom's dominant win in '99, SCCA not only added weight to the car, they also made him run a restrictor plate (just like NASCAR). This knocked off about 40 h

- Lets not forget that, in spite of SCCA trying desperately to get Tom out of GT-2, Tom is a great driver. The Germans or Japs would do well getting him to drive one of their cars. It is really hard to

- Judging from the recently posted picture of Tom's car, that's because it is "an all out race car with a stock looking body". Bob Palmer rpalmer@ucsd.edu rpalmer@brobeck.com rpalmerbob@adelphia.net -

- John & Everyone: I've always thought that a properly set up Tiger can run with anything, and Tom, and other Tigers, have proven it in the past. Watching that race, I couldn't figure out those lap tim

- True it is a all out race car. Keep in mind that Tom took a stock Tiger and continued to make modifications as the rules would allow. It is not a ground up build of a new race car. What I meant by "

- Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't GT1 full of what are basically Trans Am Cars? Tube framed purpose built "funny cars" that only vaguely resemble their alleged street cousins? I saw Tom's Tiger a fe
