    Poll: ALMS drivers of the decade

    The list of choices includes the elite of the elite. It consists of drivers with at least 35 starts, five Series victories and/or one Series championship. Pick three drivers.

    Voting will close at midnight on Wednesday, October 15 to coincide with the start of the Monterey Sports Car Championships. The Series will reveal the results during the weekend.

    My favorite driver is Terry Borcheller from the GT1 Bell Motorsports team, but Jaime Melo's performance in the GT2 class of the 2007 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring was amazing. He had worn Michelin tires on his # 62 Ferrari and there had been just two caution flags during the endurance race with the last one over two hours from the finish.

    I like Jon Field's hard work.

    Should Comcast, which is buying NBC, have more motorsports coverage on VERSUS and now NBC? Does North America need a racing tv channel? Find the answer to that exact question on facebook.

    Brabs?
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Great drives at the 2008 Tequila Patrón American Le Mans Series at Long Beach

    by Dirk Müller in the Ferrari F430 with Wolf Henzler and Patrick Pilet behind him in the Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911s. A great pass by David Brabham in the # 9 Acura on the last lap.

    Brabs is the only driver to win in every ALMS class (Panoz in LMP1, Acura in LMP2, Ferrari and Aston Martin in GT1, and Panoz in GT2).

    Fellows is going to deservedly win it.

    After his performance Saturday, I'd say McNish.
