18:02:23 [brettwp] Are there interviews in the book?
18:02:27 [Brolzy] Okay....the Cog is proud to welcome JJ OMalley to STEAK NIGHT!
18:02:32 [shadowboy] obin: i will probably be in daytona for the 24, only for the feature race though (and the morning races on saturday)
18:02:36 [shadowboy] i can't make thursday or friday
18:02:42 [JJOMalley] Is that Don Meluzio the famed racer?
18:02:47 [shadowboy] hey scott
18:02:52 [shadowboy] didn't see you there
18:03:09 [dmeluzio] no it is his son the moron who screwed up
18:03:12 [Brolzy] This is a Rolex Preview...so ask away to JJ!!
18:03:20 [shadowboy] scott: i am assuming you will be in daytona next weekend as well?
18:03:25 [Obin] ok, i have a question....
18:03:30 [rodamerica] JJ, You know we're all pumped about next week. What's the "tone" around town. Are things building up?
18:03:30 [dmeluzio] i logged on as dmeluzio22 then closed teh window by accident
18:03:33 [shadowboy] obin/scott: i will be there with anna and her father (surely you remember him obin)
18:03:39 [Obin] in your view JJ, what was the BEST year of the 24?
18:03:44 [Brolzy] Remember, there's more of us than there is of him, so let's take it easy on him....
18:03:57 [JJOMalley] 2004 had to be a real classic
18:04:11 bishop enters this room
18:04:22 [JJOMalley] I liked the years the TWR Jags won, '88 and '90...
18:04:38 [Brolzy] Those Jags were awesome...
18:04:48 [JJOMalley] but my favorites would have to have been the Holbert-Foyt battles circa 85-87
18:05:07 [brettwp] THe WHALE!
18:05:12 [Obin] were you there for Rondeau/Inaltera back in the 1970s, and what was the feeling about these "new" cars that would later become the GTPs?
18:05:18 [JJOMalley] TWR raised the bar .. great looking cars, tremendous driver lineups
18:05:22 [Brolzy] LOL @ Brett...
18:05:50 [JJOMalley] I was not there for the Rondeaus (Irv Hoerr helped test them), but Bishop said they planted the seed for the GTP class
18:06:26 [PatB] Maybe JJ can give us a quick run down on his invlovment is sportscar racing. I got his "Daytona 24" book(awsome) but don't know much else about his career(sp).
18:06:27 [Obin] really? Hoerr helped out on the Rondeaus? i didn't know that
18:06:57 [JJOMalley] Yeah, he and Skeeter McKitterick tested
18:07:25 [rodamerica] Has there ever been a wider variety of drives from other disciplines than this year, JJ?
18:07:35 [JJOMalley] My first sports car race was F5000 at Pocono, over the next few years I also covered TA and CGT at Pocono
18:08:06 [JJOMalley] then added Watkins Glen..., writing for NSSN and The Pocono Record
18:08:24 [rodamerica] Ooops. That should be drivers!
18:08:35 [JJOMalley] When Corning bought WGI, they had seen my Pocono coverage of sports cars, and hired me for the job. That's how I got started/
18:08:41 [dmeluzio] jj was THE voice of Watkins Glen for every SCCA National I ever attended
18:09:19 [JJOMalley] No, Rod, even back in 62 they had a great variety -- Stirling Moss and Jimmy Clark vs. Joe Weatherly and Fireball vs. AJ Foyt
18:09:41 [Obin] hey JJ, you would NOT believe what i have here...
18:09:49 [JJOMalley] What?
18:09:56 [Obin] remember "apache Power Boats presents BLUE THUNDER"
18:09:58 [Brolzy] wow...those had to be some battles...
18:10:09 [Obin] i have their original presskit
18:10:13 [JJOMalley] Yes, I have one of their shirts
18:10:21 [Brolzy] I would have loved to see Clark...
18:10:33 [Obin] with the Whittingtons and Randy Lanier!
18:10:51 [JJOMalley] Derek, I did PA at WGIfor practice, and to save the $ for a real announcer!
18:10:59 [brettwp] It got dark at night back then too.
18:11:04 [rodamerica] I'll reserve comment
18:11:15 [steve] 1981 ..lola t-600's..1st GTP's
18:11:18 [JJOMalley] Someone was telling me Randy Lanier got a real bum deal
18:11:40 [Obin] yeah he did, along with the Whittingtons
18:11:47 [dmeluzio] well I remember you sneaking me into the press room after my dad won a NASPORT race.
18:11:54 [JJOMalley] Lola T-600 -- a potent weapon in the hands of Brian Redman
18:11:55 [Obin] that's one of those IMSA chapters people like to forget ever happened!
18:13:18 [Obin] see ya shawn!
18:13:23 [Brolzy] good luck shadowboy...
18:13:30 [Brolzy] thanks for coming..
18:13:32 shadowboy exits from this room
18:13:41 [JJOMalley] By Shadow -- was that Gene Bishop from NSSN who just poked his head in?
18:14:10 [rodamerica] JJ, does your work appear in the Daytona paper?
18:14:43 [JJOMalley] Not my racing work, but I used to string for them covering the Miami Dolphins
18:15:37 [JJOMalley] I still do stuff for NSSN, occasionally some stuff for the WGI area papers, and I did Auto Racing Digest before it folded
18:15:46 [Obin] what is the press thinking of the rolex 24 this year?
18:15:49 steve exits from this room
18:16:17 [JJOMalley] That the DPs are for real, I think they're impressed with the growth of the class
18:16:43 [Obin] do you think we'll see more NASCAR teams or drivers later in the year?
18:17:15 [JJOMalley] Only at the Paul Revere and WGI races
18:17:17 [PatB] Whats your opinion on the direction GA is going with the Rolex series over the next couple years?(DP and GT)
18:17:57 [JJOMalley] Look at what's happened this year -- everything Roger Edmondson outlined is taking place
18:18:07 [rodamerica] In my opinion, even the biggest skeptic has to be impressed with the growth of the DP's. A 200% increase over last year is huge!
18:18:32 [JJOMalley] We'll soon have 20-22 DPs at every race, and GT is much more competitive than I originally feared
18:18:43 [Obin] yeah, i was happy with 5 racing, but 18 is just amazing
18:18:51 Brolzy enters this room
18:18:52 >[Brolzy] Welcome to our chat. Please obey the net etiquette while chatting: try to be pleasant and polite.
18:19:04 [JJOMalley] Wait till Miami -- from 4 DPs OA and 16 total, to 20 DPs and close to 50 total
18:19:10 [Obin] i honestly think that grand-am NOT allowing the GT3 RSR is a step in the right direction
18:19:22 [Brolzy] I'm back...got booted from my ISP...
18:19:43 [JJOMalley] A number of teams running one car at the R24 will run two the rest of the year, in all three classes
18:19:52 seneca enters this room
18:20:02 [Obin] wow. that'll be awesome!
18:20:12 [JJOMalley] Frankly, Scarlet, I couldn't tell a GT3RS from an RSR, but I think the RS puts on a good enough show
18:20:20 [brettwp] What would you do to improve the DPs?
18:20:21 seneca exits from this room
18:20:27 [dmeluzio] i have a good idea of what the dp class is about and where it is going. GT however is a bit cloudy over the next year or so. what direction is GA taking with the GT class.
18:20:37 [JJOMalley] Seneca? that was quick
18:20:56 [Obin] the problem i have with the RSR is that for the $430,000 they charge, it's only a tiny bit faster than the $125,000 GT3 Cup cars
18:20:58 seneca enters this room
18:21:12 [JJOMalley] GT will merge with SGS next year. With the Maserati, Porsches, Ferraris and BMW, it's shaping up pretty good
18:21:45 [JJOMalley] Originally, I thought that many teams would go SGS, and that someone like my friend Chevy Leavy coudl "steal" the GT title
18:21:49 [Obin] you think we'll see any home-grown tube-frame monsters like the old Porsche 933, or the old RX-7 GTU?
18:22:14 [JJOMalley] That's not so, but we haven't had the Ferrari Cup cars enter SGS like I expected
18:22:22 [JJOMalley] Obin, haven
18:22:31 [JJOMalley] heard of any so far
18:23:06 [PatB] I still wonder waht kind of "clipped" GT cars we will see, In the JGTC the Celicas are running the same chassis as the GT500 Supra's...
18:23:08 [Obin] i'd like to see the SCCA GT3-style cars in Rolex GT
18:23:14 [Brolzy] Have you heard anything about the Horizon Mustand from last year?
18:23:24 [dmeluzio] an RX-8 based GTU style car in GT would be great. simply by seeing how cool the ST class Speedsourec cars look.
18:23:28 [Brolzy] that's mustang...oops...
18:23:41 [JJOMalley] Not a peep... from the Horizon Mustard team
18:23:53 [Obin] oh yeah, those RX-8s look cool.
18:23:56 [brettwp] LOL
18:24:12 [Brolzy] I can't type...AH!!! LOL
18:24:16 [JJOMalley] The Mazdas look great, but Sylvain's plate is quite full
18:24:30 [dmeluzio] thats for sure
18:24:36 [JJOMalley] Noticed SpeedSource made big gains in DP testing from HMS to Daytona
18:24:49 [Brolzy] Those RX-8's are awesome...I going to test drive one at Rev-it-up I think...
18:25:00 [Obin] yeah, i think they just need to get comfortable with the cars
18:25:09 [Brolzy] Sylvain didn't seem worried in his Steak Night appearance...
18:25:10 [dmeluzio] sure did. they are certain contenders for the rolex 24.
18:25:13 [JJOMalley] Nick Ham's with the 9, nice to see him back, with Tommy Hessert joining his dad in the Essex 15
18:25:22 [rodamerica] Yeah, I asked him about streching himself thin but he didn't seem to be too worried about it.
18:25:27 [Obin] i always remember how slow the SRP2 cars were at first, and then once the teams got them set up, they were moving like rockets
18:25:27 [JJOMalley] I've never seen Sylvain worried
18:25:29 [dmeluzio] maybe not as fast as some but quick and reliable.
18:25:57 [Obin] if YOU could have a DP, what would you do JJ?
18:26:19 [Obin] i mean what chassis/engine combo
18:26:29 [JJOMalley] Hire Butch, Andy and James! Bring in Geoff Bodine for the R24
18:26:43 [JJOMalley] Doran Toyota
18:26:46 [rodamerica] Note to JJ...Brolzy and I aren't the same person.
18:26:59 seneca enters this room
18:27:01 [Brolzy] no...we are not...
18:27:21 [JJOMalley] Crawford Toyota, maybe
18:27:21 [Obin] do you think the Rolex will have more of a crowd this year?
18:27:50 [Brolzy] Do you think Toyota is the best engine then?
18:28:04 [JJOMalley] Definitely -- growth of the DPs will be a big step, plus the JR factor will held with crossover fans
18:28:28 [JJOMalley] Robby Gordon impressed the heck out of me in the 3 car at the Glen, Bro
18:28:42 [Obin] yeah, that kid can DRIVE
18:29:11 [JJOMalley] Sorry, that's LEXUS not Toyota, got to be PC
18:29:25 [Brolzy] yeah, Robby drove the wheels off that car. Some may not like his attitude and stuff, but he can race anything...he's kind of a throwback
18:29:34 [Obin] from the second that i heard the announcer mention that Robby was husling around the track like Tim Richmond, i said "Robbie is going to win the Winston Cup race"
18:29:35 [JJOMalley] First met Robby in the pits at the Rolex 24 back in around 89
18:30:16 [Obin] he seems like once he gets into "the zone" that there's no stopping him
18:30:18 [JJOMalley] As long as Robby wasn't hustling OFF the track like Richmond
18:30:32 [dmeluzio] JJ, if you were a betting man? Who do you see as the pole sitter? and who do you see as the race winner?
18:30:53 [Obin] lol! yeah i hope he wasn't
18:31:14 [Brolzy] Good Question, Derek....GAFL players, pay attention!!
18:31:40 [JJOMalley] Pole, I think Didier will have a quick package. race, I've got 8 or 9 serious contenders...
18:32:16 [Obin] well, 88 or 9 is better than knowing only ONE has a chance TO win (hint)
18:32:26 [PatB] Have you heard anything about Jaguar getting involved in the DP's? Since it looks like the TA series won't be around anymore...
18:32:26 [Obin] 8 or 9 oops
18:32:27 [JJOMalley] ...like the 58 (and 59s) overall package, although both 2-4 Crawfords and Chip will be tough
18:32:38 [dmeluzio] I see CGR being fast but teething problems getting the best of them. I also think we sometimes forget the Suntrust team. They will be big contenders.
18:32:49 [Danske] The growth of the DPs has to level-off sometime; any sense on how close that is?
18:33:01 [JJOMalley] Can't discount Forest in the 54 nor Kevin's 27, either
18:33:01 [rodamerica] You have to consider the 58 Brumos car...What a difference in a year!
18:33:24 [JJOMalley] SunTrust struggled with electrical gremlins at Daytona. ...
18:33:32 [dmeluzio] i agree. 58 will be tough to beat over a 24 hour period
18:33:43 [Obin] what i love is the fact that everything is so close and unpredictable that i bet 3 hours before the end, you still won't know who will win
18:33:49 [JJOMalley] Chip's been fast and consistent RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, but heck, look what happened to Donohue last year
18:33:54 [dmeluzio] i sure hope so
18:34:07 [Brolzy] I think the PAP PARTS car will be strong...I think the BMW might be one of the strongest motors out there...
18:34:09 [JJOMalley] Obin, I think you're right
18:34:45 [JJOMalley] Right, I think Shane is very underrated, but wonder about the rust on Jack and George
18:35:06 [Obin] one of my best rolex memories is going to sleep, and then waking up 4 hours later to find that the gap between 1st and 2nd only increased by like 30 seconds! i thought at that time 'THIS is what sportscar racing should be'
18:35:12 [JJOMalley] Also think the Essex 5 has a nice lineup
18:35:40 [brettwp] Should have gotten into politics.
18:35:41 [dmeluzio] who will fill out the CGR line-up and the Spirit of daytona line-up? any guesses
18:35:42 [Brolzy] Jack wil be fine, but has George been in a car since his last race in the mutant R&S?
18:36:11 [dmeluzio] don;t count out the MSR doran either
18:36:15 [Obin] didn't George race in that Reynard or something?
18:36:47 [JJOMalley] Not sure about Spirit (DCW had a nice guess in the N-J today
18:37:23 [JJOMalley] Dixon said in an IRL forum that he's in, along with Jimmy Morales (announced in Mexico City on Saturday)
18:37:52 [Brolzy] Who is Jimmy Morales?
18:37:58 [JJOMalley] George had an ALMS Reynard, not sure how much he drove
18:38:00 [Obin] do you see more manufacturers re-starting their DP efforts once things really start cooking up? i'd like to see Quaife get back into the swing of things, same with Funtech
18:38:05 [dmeluzio] jimmy morales? who is that? should I know?
18:38:14 [JJOMalley] He's a fast young Mexican driver
18:38:19 [Obin] or do you think the manufacturers we see are is what w'll see by the end of the year
18:38:50 [dmeluzio] is that kinda like Milka duno fast? or Terry Borcheller fast?
18:38:58 [Danske] I did provoke a response from Funtech that they're still working on it.
18:39:05 [JJOMalley] I'm hoping Mike Johnson will be able to build a DP
18:39:23 [Obin] hey, i haven't seen him in a while! what's he been up to?
18:39:47 [JJOMalley] Derek, no comment -- I'll have to see him race -- but not too many are Terry Borcheller fast!
18:39:47 [dmeluzio] fast? or fast with money?
18:39:59 [Brolzy] will the rules open up for new manufacturers in 2005?
18:40:27 [rodamerica] I agree about MJ, JJ. I really want him back in the series. Sounds like they are (were?) close.
18:40:37 [JJOMalley] Obin, Mike ran a few GACup races last year and was building a DP when he heard the door was closed.
18:40:51 mayk enters this room
18:40:55 [JJOMalley] Derek: hopefully, both; Bro, don't really know
18:41:08 [Brolzy] oh no...Ken's here...
18:41:10 [Obin] wow, i didn't realize they closed the door completely
18:41:34 [Obin] i somehow don't see them keeping it closed especially if they get inquiries
18:41:52 [JJOMalley] They had a limited number of slots for DP constructors
18:42:08 [dmeluzio] Quick GT question for you JJ
18:42:16 [Brolzy] anyone had contact with Rohr lately?
18:42:19 [dmeluzio] Racers Group vs. PTG who is your pick?
18:42:58 [JJOMalley] Derek, Buckler will be tough but I'm putting the dineros on Milner this year
18:43:02 [Obin] actually, i was wondering... will someone have a copy of your book for sale at the Rolex 24?
18:43:16 [JJOMalley] I hope the FoW Maseratis are faster than they were in testing
18:43:38 [blubimmer] I am rooting for PTG. Bill Auberlin and Said are a great combo to have
18:43:40 [JJOMalley] Obin, Jaques and Lillian (the Ferrari trailer) and Jack Webster both have copies
18:44:10 [Obin] cool, i'd like to check it out
18:44:21 [Brolzy] Said is the man...I love watching him race!
18:44:21 [JJOMalley] Nick Longhi is one of GA's most underrated drivers, hope he can show his stuff in a Mas
18:44:22 [dmeluzio] I am a Porsche nut. but it would be nice to see PTG return in style. especially if stuck is on board
18:44:57 [blubimmer] i haven't heard anything about Hans yet
18:45:00 [Obin] in your opinion JJ, where do you think that the old IMSA made a mistake? when John Bishop sold it, or later on?
18:45:01 [Brolzy] So, do you think PTG is going to win GT in the 24?
18:45:09 [JJOMalley] Sorry, No Hanschen this time, two FA guys
18:45:12 [dmeluzio] JJ's Book is a must have. Simply awesome. not just great photos but cool content and insight.
18:45:23 [JJOMalley] Bro, yes, that was my pick
18:45:34 [brettwp] JJ will you be at the trailer to sign mine?
18:45:35 [Brolzy] cool...
18:45:48 [JJOMalley] Sure Brett
18:46:29 [mayk] OK....Quiz time everyone
18:47:09 [blubimmer] i have been following PTG for a good while, but when is the last time Milner fielded a car in a 24 hour enduro?
18:47:12 [Obin] quiz?
18:47:14 [JJOMalley] What WoO regular once ran the Rolex 24
18:47:16 [mayk] What set the fast lap in the 1989 Daytona 24..multiple choice
18:47:34 [mayk] A: Porsche 962
18:47:43 [Brolzy] JJ, have you heard anything about if the Riggins/Kylm thing is going to happen?
18:47:49 [mayk] B: Porsche 962c
18:47:50 [JJOMalley] Milner won a bunch of GT titles with Boris and Tom Milner not that long ago
18:48:03 [Brolzy] WoO regular? Man, I should know that considering my former line of work...
18:48:11 [brettwp] What year was there no race?
18:48:24 [JJOMalley] Bro: Don't think Riggins will race, not enough engines
18:48:28 [mayk] C: Jag XJR-9 or
18:48:29 [Brolzy] Slam'n Sammy?
18:48:41 [JJOMalley] Brett: 1974; Bro, he also nearly got to test a sprinter at WGI
18:48:44 [rodamerica] Hey, I was there and I don't remember!
18:48:47 [mayk] D: Nissan GTPZXT
18:48:51 [dmeluzio] I say C:
18:48:54 [JJOMalley] Not Sammy
18:48:57 [Brolzy] D?
18:49:03 [Obin] i'd go with jag Mayk
18:49:12 [mayk] tick tock
18:49:19 [dmeluzio] cobb neilsen wallace and lammers were hot that year
18:49:26 [JJOMalley] Ken, I'll also go with the Jag
18:49:41 [mayk] DING DING
18:49:57 [JJOMalley] ... although the 962C ran like a bat out of heck for nine laps at the Glen that uyear
18:50:08 [mayk] #69 Jag XJR-9
18:50:18 [Obin] JJ, were you there at WGI for the start of the WSC era?
18:50:18 [mayk] #60
18:50:23 [Brolzy] a sprint car at the glen? WOW...
18:50:35 [JJOMalley] Obin, yes
18:50:45 [PatB] What was the time ken?
18:50:54 [Obin] was the crowd smaller for WSC than it was for GTP?
18:50:54 [JJOMalley] Bro: We had it all set up, but couldn't get enough tires
18:51:12 [Brolzy] man, that would be nuts. with or without wings?
18:51:15 [JJOMalley] We also raced midgets on the "inner loop short track"
18:51:22 [mayk] 1:42.342
18:51:23 [dmeluzio] that was davy jones and boesel right?
18:51:29 [Obin] i heard about that inner loop mini track!
18:51:35 [Obin] friend of mine went to that
18:51:41 [Brolzy] I dind't know that....
18:51:42 [JJOMalley] Bro: THe sprint car would have been full WoO wings ont he short course
18:51:49 [mayk] Lammers
18:52:24 [dmeluzio] those jags were great cars
18:52:34 [Brolzy] man, that would have killed the NAPCAR track record... and came close to the overall...
18:52:38 [Obin] i have the Group 44 press kit from 1984
18:52:47 [JJOMalley] Especiall with Davy Jones at the wheel
18:52:48 [Brolzy] I loved the look of the Jags
18:53:25 [JJOMalley] RC Tullius put together a great looking car and well run team, ahead of his time
18:53:31 [mayk] Na...Ford Mustang GTP Probes!
18:54:06 [dmeluzio] http://www.garra-fans.com/dbits_rolex_reflect_010504/Jaguar_Rolex_1.jpg
18:54:07 [Obin] heh, this presskit eeven has a pretty young looking Brian REdman in it
18:54:15 [JJOMalley] I remember Klaus Ludwig on the oval at Charlotte in the Ford GTP -- So fast he sucked the bodywork off the suspension!
18:54:21 [rodamerica] Yeah right, Ken!
18:54:51 [mayk] Quiz #2 for the "Old folkes" ahem....Steve
18:55:10 [Obin] actually i have a question... in this old presskit it says there was a "vintage car race" at the Pocono Camel GT in 1984. what kind of Vintage Cars were those?
18:55:14 [JJOMalley] Sprint car answer: Jeff Swindell, ran the Rolex 24 with Mike Joy and Joe Ruttman
18:55:16 [mayk] 1970 Dayotna....winning car make was a?
18:55:23 [Obin] like WWII vintage?
