[ba] ALMS San Jose

[Buchholz, Steven]

Well, I must say that getting to share the event with some folks I knew made
this year's San Jose ALMS race much better or me than last.  Wolff and Javad
were there, and I got to meet Albert Ng and David Anderson in the flesh as
well.  In case you hadn't heard, the #1 Audi managed to find somewhere on
the course to pass the Panoz to finish first from a #2 spot on the grid.
Afterwards we had a great time chatting with one of the Audi techs about the
details of the car, and a considerable bit of Audi racing car tech history
as well ... all in all an excellent way to spend one's lunch!  I don't think
I'll be able to do SpeedRing this evening though.  

The word is that tomorrow might be an excellent time to head down to Laguna
Seca if you want to hang out with the folks working on the cars to learn
about what is going on inside ... 

... I was actually hoping to go down on Friday myself, but when I got the
Audi hospitality ticket package, I found that a ticket for Friday was not
included ... aargh!  Too bad I can't just pop down there tomorrow myself!
