Very hot here today with little shade available. We had a terrific reception at the Pantera French Connection paddock at 5:30 pm with champagne for all. About 25 cars including two Pantera Si (one spyder) and a Guara, several early euro pushbuttons, the ex-Roland Jackel Longchamp GTS prototype, but no Mangustas. Some terrific Swiss Gr4 replicas were there, one with Webers: Besides one driver, we also have one of our own, Jim Oddie, working as a corner worker! Gray Gregory had a blast during day and night practice yesterday; he was running at about 3 am and said he ran out of headlights because they were aimed too low. His first race started at 10 o'clock but there were two big wrecks which caused it to be red-flagged after only 9 minutes. He must be pretty annoyed but at least he didn't get collected in the wrecks. We are taking advantage of the downtime to hang out in a VIP enclosure and charge our phones which are both dead....now 11:07 pm and still T-shirt and shorts weather outside so glad for the A/C and free drinks!
