I heard that the Bentley made contact with the #34 car in the high speed corner and caused it to spin out of control. Apparently the Ferrari entered the corner first and the Bentley attempted a pass on the inside and pushed the Ferrari out and off track at high speed. The Bentley was trying desparately to make up lost time and may have used just a little bad judgement at that time as I am sure the Ferrari would have moved over to let him past once out of the corner. Bad racing luck.
If this would not have happened, it is conceivable the #34 car would have finished 2nd in GT as the 2nd place Porsche was disqualified for holding over 100 liters of fuel. The #34 car was in 3rd in class at the time and had been running there for quite some time with a decent lead on the 4th place car. |

360 Challenge was there a few weeks ago, but that would be cool to have the #35 on the showroom floor. I'm sure they'll do that to give Calpoint exposure. I can make a pretty good educated guess that the #34 isn't on the showroom yet. ;) |

I heard from a friend that the #35 360GT is on the showroom at Dallas. Might be worth a look. Finished 2nd overall at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. |
