Mal: Okay I'm done with the subject. Of course the ACO can do whatever they desire, and they definitely have the right and the obligation to promote the new series. No argument on any of that. What would be nice is if they would show equal consideration to the series that basically kept Lemans-type sportscar racing from becoming extinct in N America. That's all.... I think the 24 is the greatest race in the world today and I think ALMS has been partly responsible for its renaissance.
The race this last weekend was a one-time blip on the screen and will cease to be an issue next year. It would have been a nice gesture by the ACO to give either Petit or Sebring, or anything over here equal pulling status from a guaranteed entry standpoint. Since scheduling made travel between the events such a problem, it seems Petit would have been the logical choice.
