Well you mised all the fun of the fair if you were not lucky enough to get locked up for a week in the hole. I used my influence, and cried like a little girly-man, so I was upstairs, over-looking the front stretch, with my laptop nicely hidden under a cardboard box, as a hood. Meanwhile, down in the depths, there was a little carnange, with photogs etc climbing all over each other, trying to get a connection, or even their seat. Talk about a sweat shop! I expected to see new Nike's flowing out of that place. I liked the reasonable insanity of the journalisti upstairs, especially the dsc crew coming up with their stories. The ones that did not get to print were the best, needless to say, but libel and slander laws would have eaten their budget..dang!
All in all, there was not as much buzz as usual, as we all knew what the result was going to be, it was just we did not know the EXACT order. Still, a fairly entertaining race away from the Audi juggernaut. Always great to go to Sebring after the 124 Hours at Daytona.
Anyone who can compare these two races on an even footing is in serious need of help. Did anyone notice the CROWD??? At least as big as 2002.
The billboard and track layout tee's I printed for the track are all but cleaned out. There are quite a lot of the "official poster" tee left over.
Not mine, so I dont mind!!!!!
Will try and get an inside scoop while in Le Mans for the week. All depends on France-Telecom getting us hooked up. Took till late Wed last year. Union laws only permit 30 hours per week of work.........Which means that as it's France we are talking about here, they must be doing 15 hours of overtime!!!!!!

The hole was so jammed by the time we made our mandatory meeting we decided not to hook up the laptop at all. We could have had access up top but decided not to press our luck.

I am sorry that I promised to update the photos and stories during the race, but we found it improbable once we saw the dungeon.

BTW artracer, you will never guess who made it upstairs to the media area. Ken told me he was up there behind the counter having a  serious discussion, when the cows came walking by in the media room. The conversation just stopped as they watch them roam by and out of the room.

That had to be as funny as shit to see all the international media people staring at these cows and wondering why they are there :lol:  :lol:

I do think sebring has the right idea about the Black Hole. If they can create a "properly" air conditioned place bricked in with enough concrete so the wireless would work it could be an efficient way to fit us all in.

Next time I am going to bring a wireless router, and plug it at the hole, just to see what happens. That is if I don't get my arm bitten off for trying to plug a cord into one of the switches protected by the pit-bull photographers. :roll:

I'll bring elbow pads, a football helmet, and my 3 iron. I think we'll be able to hook up that wireless router. We just have to make sure we lock it down so only those with the correct login can access it.
