I said what the hell and I got a weekend pass to Indy GP at Barber AL. Super excited! Is it wrong that I'm more looking forward to seeing the Pirelli World Challenge races than Indy cars?

The race happens to coincide with my birthday weekend, and I think I got myself a pretty good present.

Bet your asses I'll be cheering on that #86 GTS FR-S.

Not at all. My car club has been attending the Mid-Ohio race for years and over half the club leaves and goes home before the IndyCar race. We go to support Team Cadillac Racing in the PWC. I, and just a couple others, do hang out for the extra day... what the hell, it's paid for.

Notice the CTS-V on the far end of the line. That's the personal daily driver (6MT) of Johnny O'Connell. Our car corral has the best in-field parking because we've been coming for so long. He and Andy join us instead of the Cadillac V Corral or parking in their pit area. Our club has been following Johnny and Andy for so long, they always come hang out with us when not racing or doing press interviews and such, so we tend to get a lot of attention, as if a gaggle of pristine XLRs wasn't enough.

You're telling me that the drivers don't daily their race cars?

Don't sell yourself short on IndyCar, it really is great racing. Granted, so is PWC, which I'm admittedly just starting to follow this year, I figured with TUSCC being one series, it opens up space to follow another.

Why would they? The production models actually have more power because PWC made them reduce the power in the CTS-VR to meet the GT specs. I did ride in their 2-seater CTS-VR once... what a ride!

World Challenge is awesome: fact.
