Press conference on now. GrandAm and ALMS merger [http://www.alms.com/articles/future-sports-car-racing-north-america](http://www.alms.com/articles/future-sports-car-racing-north-america) hopefully it doesnt suck like when IRL and CART joined. ---

considering grandam races there twice and alms once, im pretty sure youll see LRP on the schedule I’d like to see the P2 cars at WGI and at the Rolex 24. A friend and I were comparing laptimes between the series, the ALMS GT cars are as fast as the DP cars, not sure how that is gonna work out ---

I’m still very concerned with what will happen at Sebring for the ACO stuff. I know they said that there is no talks of contract extension after 2013, but I’d like to see the big P1 teams (Audi, Toyota, etc.) race sometime without going to Europe. ---
