Man. I wish we could have hooked up to go to the races. I work in Louisville.

I was saying that it was in progress and that was how they were running at the moment.

Can we get some videos on the track?
I'm very interested in seeing how this combination performs.

The team had a few good laps today but unfortunately expired early in the race. They got lots of data which they're pleased with and I'm sure will help them continue to improve on an already very fast car. They manged to move from P20 to 11th and Mike was only a few hundredths of a second off from the lead cars' pace (despite being in the traffic). I'll post pics of the Z in action after dinner.

Too bad about the engine problem, Mike had good pace and was making up lots of positions. Once you get these teething problems out of the way the car is going to be a killer.

GS starting lineup between turns 1 and 2

Race Underway

It cannot be said enough, not only is this car fast around the track, it looks mighty fine.

The Audi tried bumping and got shoved in return.

While other teams were headed home, the guys at A.M. Performance were diving into diagnostics.

I have a few more pics of specific parts that are being marketed soon but I'm holding those closeups for now. Much luck to Mike and the team in their next events!

Thanks for the pics! Very cool (except the towing, and problems..

) Good luck to the AM guys.

Are these races on tv at all, I'd love to watch them & root for the A.M team

Next Saturday on speed. The schedule is on the grand-am site. Several races are live and several are tape delayed like the Barber 200.
