[johngeorge]

Hi All,

This weekend Team Boothman Racing will be at the 2011 NASA 25 hour Endurance race in Willows, CA. We have prepared for this event all year long, and secured a stellar driver lineup again including Team Owner - Ed Boothman, the 2011 Factory Five National Champion - Paul Kaiser, 2nd at Nationals - Scott McKay, FFR's own R&D - Jim Schenck, FFR racer Dave Riha, and me. Running this event marks my 4th time at this event and am hoping we best our 2010 effort of 5th place in ES class, 18th overal, 565 laps completed for a total of 1,695 miles.

We will have live web video feed from the pits and live timing/scoring to keep everyone informed of our progress over the 25 hours. I will also try to tweet (BoothmanRacing) on Twitter throughout the race and post updates on our Facebook open group page 'Boothman Racing'

Just a quick update for you race fans...also competing in the 25 hour race/6 hour WERC final race is Thunder Valley Racing, once again in for the long haul as well as trying to clinch the points championship in class E0 for the WERC. Competing in the 6 hour WERC final event and currently in 3rd place for the E1 class is Team KneedAdjusment Racing, hoping to finish out our first season of endurance racing with a podium finish among a class of 8 competitors. Safe travels to the event and good luck to all the FFR racers!

Hi all,

NASA is doing a live broadcast here throughout the race: http://www.nasa25hour.com/2011-live-broadcast.html


It's been a long time coming, but Endurance Radio are proud to announce the very first live and exclusive coverage of NASA's 25 Hours of Thunderhill! One of the best kept secrets in motor racing will finally be brought live to the world on December 3-4, 2011 from Thunderhill Raceway Park in Willows, CA. Join lead broadcaster Brendan Kaczmarek on Saturday morning December 3 at 10:45AM PST (1:45PM EST, 18:45GMT) for pre-race buildup as he sets the expected 80+ car grid and introduces you to a West Coast all-night classic. A full 25+ hours of coverage will bring you right through to the checkered flag on Sunday, December 4 at 12:00 Noon Pacific. Thanks to the organizers, you'll also get live timing and scoring for the ultimate enthusiast experience. Best of all, if you're already at the track, join us in the drivers' lounge or listen in on your smartphone from in the pits or around the track for the ultimate solution for following what is bound to be a classic event.

Many, MANY cars and drivers that have never before raced in the 25 are entered this year and that should make things interesting for sure.

Prototype Development Group has been working all year for this event and I can't wait to get to the track with the FFR PDG GTM.

We have a good strategy mapped out on paper, but in this length race anything can happen...and usually does.

Good luck to all! :)
