Comments on: To Sleep, Perchance To Dream http://www.doubledeclutch.com/?p=4676 The Right Stuff, The Wrong Way Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:13:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: John Brooks http://www.doubledeclutch.com/?p=4676#comment-14216 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:05:17 +0000 http://www.doubledeclutch.com/?p=4676#comment-14216 Lee, I suspect that the evidence of history supports you. However I am told that the Folks from Daytona are spending upwards of 8 figures to buy out Don and Scott, and I saw Grand-Am and FIA/ACO officials talking at Silverstone a few weeks ago. Grand-Am has now got to makethe transition from a spoiler series to a profit centre.

The best outcome could be LMP2/DP+ with GTE and GT3, as I said one can dream.

There have been discussions to get the Rolex as part of the FIA WEC, with an additional chicane in NASCAR4. Not sure how that will play out.

Sebring is being dropped because the combined ALMS/FIA WEC car count is too much, neither party can expect customers to miss a race as important as Sebring…………….2014 might be different.

In any case our opinions count for nothing.

Fancy the joy of shooting Proto-turtles there?

It appear to be not a merger, its a buy-out. We (IMSA and traditional sports car fans) loose.
