Grand-AM Opener & Boss 302R Debut Tomorrow!
The 2010 Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge season begins tomorrow at 1:45 PM Eastern with the Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona. It marks the debut of the 2011 Mustang Boss 302R, which replaces the FR500C that has dominated Grand-Am since its debut at Daytona in 2005. Track the action with live timing and scoring at Grand-Am.com.
Mustangs on the Entry List include:

Among the four Boss 302R1s (I've read that the R1s are the Grand-Am versions--regular Rs are SCCA spec and maybe The Mustang Challenge spec), I'd expect the #15 (Or will it be #16?) car of Foster/Maxwell to be the one to beat.
In the six practice sessions, seven vehicles did practice laps in under two minutes, given in descending order below: Mustang #16, 1:59.215 at over 107.0 MPH (shown as the Foster/Maxwell car by GARRA*) Mustang #52, 1:59.280 at over 107.0 MPH Mustang #59, 1:59.399 at over 107.0 MPH Mustang #11, 1:59.710 at over 107.0 MPH BMW #97 1:59.724 at over 107.0 MPH BMW #48 1:59.769 at over 107.0 MPH BMW #96 1:59.796 at over 106.0 MPH Camaro #6 1:59.900 at over 106.0 MPH But these were practice laps--qualifying this evening at 5:30 PM will be more indicative of the times & speeds these vehicles (and others) are capable of on the day before the race *Apparently, there is a Street Tuner class car already using the number 15, so that number may not be available for use on another car.

That's what DISH 150/Speed shows this Sat at 12p PST. Is this the program the Boss is going to be on? (I liked the "Grand Am 24 hrs at Daytona" that precedes the start of the race. ;) ) |

I'm confused... isn't this the "Rolex Sports Cars Series Racing" 24 hr Grand Am with both GT & DP's?

On the bumpier track sections, I wonder how much of a difference a IRS would make... just wondering. :fear: The M3's are pretty darn fast and consistent so far.
