It's the 18th.

And, for distributing it, encode it using DiVX, and distribute it using BitTorrent.

Thanks for the times. And if NASCAR comes on then we get free lessons on English as a second language. Roundanaroundanaroundanaroundanaround, who cares!

The #1 R10 is retired. Overheating is claimed, but there's rumors that it's actually a telemetry failure.

#2 holds the lead. Diesel power has dominated this race.

Dr Ulrich says the official reason for pulling the other R10 was overheat. Lack of telemetry lead to the problem.

Ha, showed them! :lol:
 Was ahead by 4 laps at one time. :D
 They were really talking about the diesel and how this car could change the reputation of the diesel engine.
 There was no smoke, little noise, no smell and lots of power.
 Some of this was due to the Shell fuel that will be coming to America in a few years.
 It will be fun to see how it does at Lemans.

guys, i went to the race. i have video and pictures of both tdi's in the pits being worked on. i shook hands with the germans working on the cars and talked with some of them in the pits. i stood on the starting line 5 mins before the race bagan and took pis of the tdi's. i shot video of alot of it, espically video of the car on the track, car being loaded the day before on the trailer, them putting body panels on and off, some neat engine pics and vids.

also got alot of video of other cars but i really focused on the tdi's because i knew you guys would love it.
ill compilate the video and distrubute it tomorrow. its 410am and im too tired to type anymore.

it was amazing ill say that.
