OT ... diesel Audi racecar alert ...
Just in case anyone wants to see some serious diesel power, the 12 Hours of Sebring is on its sixth hour now ... and guess who's running 1-2 ... Audi DIESELS. No surprise ... they won everything they entered last year. Hope they finish out without major troubles. On SPEED channel ... you've got all day to give it a look.

Great, I'm stuck in a hotel in AZ without the Speed channel. I'm also going to miss the Australia GP tonight.
I'll have to follow the GP play-by-play in a chat room, not the same. |

That's gotta suck, getting stuck in Pit Lane because of a mirror.

The electrical problems have been wild, across the board. Guess Sebring got even rougher this year? Seemed like early everyone was pitting for something 'lectric. Craig, if it makes you feel any better I'm at work and my co-workers changed the TV to an NHL game (I work in the sports dept. of a newspaper so at least we do get to watch sports). We've got Flyers (Ummm ...) and NCAA hoops on. So, no Sebring finish, no Aussie GP, and no horse racing (not that the horse races on today were any big deal).

And they say diesels are for trucks and lugging, gassers eat your hearts out, diesel is here to stay and rule.
