Audi R8 Cappello/McNish P1 at Houston Grand Prix
I thought you all should be the first to know, #2 Audi R8 wins the American
LeMans Series at the Grand Prix of Houston tonight!
Just got back from the race here in Houston, and enjoyed it tremendously.
The car qualified P4, but quickly passed the Dyson Lola, and both Porsche RS
Spyders, to win at the end of the 2 1/2 hour race at the Houston Reliant
Center road course.
Too bad the R10's couldn't be here, but according to the Audi Sport NA
folks, the logistics did not work in time to get them back to France for Le
24 Heures Du Mans in early June.
I'm just elated that I got to see the championship-winning #2 R8, and I have
never been more proud to be driving an Audi!

Stephen,
......must....fight...feelings.....of....envy..... .
It must have been awesome to see the R8 in the flesh. Of course, you
weren't speeding or clipping the curbs of turns on your way home, right?
