No Fast Track - Utah Testing
Written by Tom Kjos   
May 17, 2008 at 12:30 AM

Tooele, Utah – Today was testing, run in the usual fashion of GT alone, a shared hour, then the prototypes alone for the final half hour.

It seems our excitement that Miller Motorsports Park would be a fast track was misplaced by about 1,263 miles – the distance this track is from Road America. The fast lap today on Miller’s Outer Course was an anemic 118.722 miles per hour, and though we expect improvement by tomorrow afternoon’s qualifying, a challenge to Allan McNish’s Road America record of 135.353 seems remote.

Finally after three days of soggy weather in Indianapolis, the only thing drenching the Brickyard on Pole Day was sunshine.

Written by Tom Kjos   
May 13, 2008 at 03:08 PM

The American Le Mans Series’ fourth contest of 2008 is set in the high desert of the American west at Miller Motorsports Park. One can easily imagine Lago, the town of The High Plains Drifter, in the area around Tooele, Utah. Though it’s the third time at Miller, it’s a new track for the sports cars, the twenty-three turns of the 4.5-mile “full” course having been replaced by the fourteen of the much faster 3-mile Outer Course.

Viva La Difference - Interviewing Designer John Machaqueiro on the ALMS Yearbook
Written by Editor   
May 05, 2008 at 06:39 PM

There’s something new in the sports car racing world, something that’s been missing since the 2000 season – an American Le Mans Series Season Yearbook.

We got our first preview of this impressive book at Sebring. It’s since been widely distributed, and greeted with universally favorable – even glowing – reviews.

It’s striking not just for what it is – a beautiful telling of the very special American Le Mans Series 2007 season – but for what it is not – just another “look-alike” racing series yearbook.
