Long Beach Car Count

A reader writes, Dear AutoRacing1.com, With Forsythe and Walker closing their doors, wonder what the car count will be at Long Beach – 12 or 13 at best? And we still have several weeks to go; it could get worse. Gee, won't that be exciting if a first lap wreck takes out 3 or 4 cars. Maybe Stoddart should enter his two-seaters. Looks like the ALMS race on late Saturday afternoon will be the biggest race of the weekend. Paul Gambino

Dear Paul, As far as we know Forsythe and Walker are still planning to run Long Beach because they still own the equipment, so the cost should not be enormous. We believe most of the crew members will come back to work that final event. Mark C.
