vintage info first. 24 cars from england came over - jags, camaros,
mustangs, 1 tr3, alpines, tigers, 1 tvr, etc. they are having a great
time. they are not used to a course or facility this big (notr the temp
cmpared to being at home in the uk).  hsr had thier first practice
session latge this afternoon. not a huge turnout of cars but certainly
the ususaly hsr variety - porsche 935's to mini's.  gt qualifying had
the viper and corvette factory cars going at it. since viper won the
daytona 24 hour, corvette (read gm) is in full force.  the 3 factory
vipers and 2 factory corvettes all qualified within a 1.2 second
"blanket".  the big cars finished teh day with teh panoz on top, besting
audi by .009 of second. bmw was third and anothe panoz was 4th. teh
panoz cars are front engine with the driver almost siting over the rear
axle - actually a mid-engine with driver in teh rear.  robert yates -
nascar, ford, dale jarret car - is the engine builder.  spolke with some
friends at cadillac engineering. the car is down on speed but not power.
the emphasis is on chassis adjustments. last year butch leitzinger told
me the  riley and scot car had enough power but they were playing with
aerodynamics.  should be a good race.  ted
