FW: Audi takes 1-2 at Texas Motor Speedway

[Buchholz, Steven]

While I think it is fantastic to see Audi kicking butt in the ALMS series, I
wonder if such domination is a good thing.  I'm thinking about what the 917
did to Can-Am racing, or the rules changes that came in the BTCC ... seems
the same sorts of things may result from this.  Any other thoughts?  BTW, I
get e-mail from Audi motorsport related to the racing updates ... I've
attached the most recent message below.  
 
All that said, I'm really looking forward to getting to see the cars at
Laguna Seca next month!

Steven Buchholz,



A perfect start for Team Audi Sport North America going into the second half
of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS): Under gruelling heat Audi took an
unchallenged 1-2 victory at the Texas Motor Speedway in Dallas/Fort Worth.
The two Audi R8s led all 127 laps, and lapped the entire field. With the
third 1-2 of the season Audi took the lead in the manufacturers championship
of the American Le Mans Series. All four Audi pilots further closed the gap
in the drivers championship.
