    Based on what I read on another forum and the source is reported to be a good one is the following:

    "Also from elsewhere is (secondhand but should know) that both Peugeot and Risi have applied and been granted special dispensation and will be allowed to replace their chassis."

    If this in fact gospel - that's terrific news for the Risi gang. By now they've gotten quite good applying the green tape to the other red car and on the spare car parts, so they should be ready for June 10th.

    Counting down the days - I read about speculation of a 300,000 plus crowd for the race. WOW. They are already selling tickets for the 2009 race. The support race is suppose to be Group C - that should be most interesting.

    Congratulations to the Risi Team (if this is true - if not, good luck on the repairs). See you guys a week from Friday.

    It was either that or swap VIN plates...

    That's certainly good news for the team. Any reason they got 83 instead of 63 from last year?

    I believe ACO assigns the numbers - Flying Lizards are #80 which in ALMS is either the 44 or 46 car - good question, needs investigation!
