Racing: ALMS
So, I guess Team Lexus has not completed the 2 IS350's yet for the ALMS race this weekend at Sebring. There is no Lexus on the entry list. Anyone know the status of their development? I can't wait to see them on the track.

I think Team Lexus is far from ready at the moment. I still want to know if they are really going to use the factory automatic transmission. I can't fathom the idea of how a automatic would work under such stress and conditions, let alone comply with every command to the driver. I'm sure it won't be a stock transmission.
So, where's your car Vincent? I want a ride.

For Direct TV users, it should be Speed Channel # 607 on the West Coast
