World GT Championships - Vipers rule

[Jack B]

I hope this isn't old news for all, but, I just watched the GT World Championships at Sebring. It was taped delayed from Friday and Saturday. To make a long story, short:

1. Mike McCan first
2. Cadillac second.
3. Bob Woodhouse third.
4. Four vipers in the top ten.
5. Dodge leads the manufacturer's points with 9.

As a sidebar, Tommy Archer broke an oil line and finished way out. The fastest Vette also broke an axle staging and never started. Near the end it looked like the lead vette blew a head gasket, they said this happened to the vettes on a regular basis last year.

I was there Friday and watched it today. Much more exciting to see it in person.

The St. Pete race is actually 3/31 - 4/2. not sure which day the vipers run.

If you are around Tampa area, I'm sure we can find a few cars for a get together though....

Thanks a lot for the offer Chuck!

We are in Orlando area. Seems to be a long drive to Homestead?

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Probably about 4.5 hours from Orlando.

World Challenge was great. Of course I saw it via tivo. But making plans to make a weekend of it next year.

Went on Saturday though, Actually I saw Chuck and his entourage I was in the Tram with my brother. The RT looked clean Chuck.

Viper corral was spectacular, on turn one with bleachers, and right next to all the food & beer. Great location VCA

One of the best drive was from Brett Pearson that started dead last due to some problems in qual and finished 12 or 13.

Well, this completely ****** me off. I watched the race for a good hour at the start and did not see ONE Viper. Did I miss something? I saw Panoz, Porche, Ferrari, even a GD Corvette or two. But not one Viper.

Purdue,
I think you may have caught the actual 12 hrs of sebring(SAT). The GT race was taped and played sun 4PM EST. Usually if you search on speedtv.com you can find a re-air time!

 

[Purdue_Boiler_Viper]

Sheet! Thanks Hemi. Will do.

If you find the re-aring time, please post. I also watched the 12 hours of Sebring and was wondering where the Vipers were
