Sebring Pre-race documentary: Truth in 24

Sebring/ALMS Fans:
Tomorrow, Friday 3/20 @ 8PM Eastern, ESPN will air the award winning documentary 'The Truth in 24'. Made by NFL Films, it covers Audi's 2008 ALMS sports car season & according to sneak reviews features some spectacular cinematography. Several automotive journalists who previewed this film have said it is one of the best racing films ever made. Tomorrow night is the first airing to the general public.
Right now, SPEED is airing an ALMS review from Sebring, followed by an Acura LMP1 Documentary which will be rebroadcast at 11PM Eastern tonight.
This weekend's race will be on SPEED again & should be great.
GT2 class will be a barn-burner. Rahal Letterman debuts the new BMW team & Hans Stuck Sr teams with his son in a 997 Porsche. His first Sebring Victory was in 1975..

Truth in 24 - Friday night 8PM Eastern on ESPN

Thanks for the heads up! My brother and I hate football, but will watch pretty much any NFL Films film. It will be an experience to watch their movie on a subject I care about.

It was pretty good! If you don't know about this site already, here's a good primer for the race & a list of car specs, etc, It's also got a really cool breakout of corner & straight speeds:

Aside from SPEED you can also follow the race on the Flying Lizards GT2 Porsche team radio at www.lizardms.com

Go Drayson!

The VCR is running overtime! I taped the movie Fri. and 9-10 hours of

Sebring tonight. I'm finished work for this week in the morning so my Sun-

day is spoken for, can't wait.
