Excellent performance by Todd Buras in the Irish Mike’s Vokswagen Jetta over last weekends Touring car races. Todd’s start was a bit off seeing he was in reverse, but soon rallied up to fist with some nice moves and yellow flags later. Irish Mike has been racing in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with promising results as well. We are also super excited to see more Volkswagen on the line.

That didn’t last long! Right from go the No. 06 car started smoking and then stopped on the front straight with a fire. Oil was left all over. In the end qualifying was stopped and will be based off of the combined practice times.
With that said, it leaves Brandon Davis / Ford Mustang Cobra on pole. Does that suck or what! To follow that up, Randy Pobst / Porsche 911 GT3 put the K-Pax Racing into 2nd! Michael Galati, in his K-Pax Porsche took 7th.
The SPEED Touring Car race will go green at 11:05 a.m. (EDT) tomorrow, March 14.
The SPEED GT race will go green at 4:40 p.m. (EDT) tomorrow.
SPEED GT qualifying is scheduled to begin at 11:50 a.m. (EDT). Weather is 72F and sunny in Sebring. The SPEED GT qualifying lap record at Sebring is a 2:07.679, set last year by Doug Peterson. Brandon Davis was fastest in yesterday’s practice, turning a 2:10.382.
We don’t have official word from STaSIS but it doesn’t look like they are competing in the Touring Class this year. Qualifying for TC has finished up with Seth Thomas taking his first pole. No. 43 Kleinubing will start second. No. 44 Wittmer and No. 42 Cunningham will complete the second row on the grid.
Getting under way shortly will be the GT class. There is a good number of Porsche’s this year, so we will be keeping an eye on them to dominate!
This is a bit later than we wanted. March is around the corner! 12 Hours of Sebring is now 16 days away!
Completed! but now we need to add the Le Mans Series! We have but two to finish, the Grand Am Rolex Series and the KONI Challenge Series. They really don’t get going until May but it should be up by evening.
These will be updated as needed. Track, dates, times, PDF schedules and more (varies).
We are also working with our creative, STRENGTH interactive, on a special mobile concept! Stay tuned on that one!
Head on over to the Calendar’s page and get your dates in place. Set your TiVo’s! Don’t forget to show your significant other!

I was just checking out the qualifying images from Speed World Challenge Touring Car results and saw that Christian Miller’s Volkswagen Jetta back in the game! However, I did not see Jim Osborn’s VW Jetta TDI!
Christian Miller / 034 Motorsports placed 19th with a 1:38.174 to Pobst’s 1:35:857.
Hope to see you more in 2008!

Excellent work from Randy! I finally met him and had a good conversation with at Road Atlanta. Class act and a great year for him in both World Challenge entries! Here’s to 2008 and maybe back in the Audi’s 
Pobst swept both poles at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (Weber image).
MONTEREY, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2007) – Current Championship leader Randy Pobst, of Gainesville, Ga., captured the pole for Round Ten of the SCCA Pro Racing SPEED World Challenge Championship minutes after collecting the SCCA SPEED Touring Car Pole at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Andy Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, Fla., will start second.
Preventing a Cadillac clinch of the SCCA SPEED GT Manufacturers’ Championship Presented by RACER and giving himself another five points in his Drivers” Championship lead, Pobst recovered from a first lap slide to put the No. 22 K-PAX Racing LLC/Jim Haughey Porsche 911 GT-3 on pole. Just after getting out of his pole-winning Mazda SCCA SPEED Touring Car, Pobst collected his 22nd-career pole with a lap of 1:29.707 (89.812 mph) around the 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course. He now needs to finish third or better to win the 2007 Drivers’ Championship, regardless of what his rivals do.
