Although much overdue, having failed to race
this year. Nonetheless, like A-L-L Fine Wines, the new for '17 vintage Lexus RC
F GT3 has made it's Shakedown track test at "Gingerbread" Raceway, appropriately
Justin-time' for this year's Holidazes.
As NO word on whether or not Team 3GT's lead
driver Scotty "Scooter" Pruett was wearing a Paul "GOOFY!"
gentilozzi mask in honour of Halloween when taking to the track; Hya!
As the Michigan based team will run a pair of
brand new Rexuses' in IMSA's GTD (Daytona) class beginning at the Rolex 24 with
the ageless Pruett and Sage "Dangerboy" Karam as two of its four regular
season drivers, making it seem unlikely that the latter will race Fulltime in
Indy Cars next year.
While interestingly, the Lexus cars will go Mano-e-Mano with another
Japanese "import" making its debut in the ever Burgeoning GT ranks,
with Michael Shank Racing's pair of Acura NSX's.
And now for the Oh, so Clever Tie-in; Cymbol
crash please... Although he AIN'T got NO Vino brand of his own, Sage did chauffer
the Reinbold & Dryer Gas Monkey Energy Dallara/Chevy last May at Mother
Speedway, albeit doubt that Karam needs any energy drinks; Yeehaw!
Whilst certainly thee Mayor 'O Hinchtown will
enjoy some Dom Paragon upon winning this year's Dancing With the Stars, I'm
sure he'll have some of his signature Hammertime brew chillin' in case of
defeat.
With NO word on 'Ol Scooters' new ride
featuring any room for transporting some of his latest Chiroz? Uhm, Y'all know
the red stuff, right? Or whatever blushin' colour Shiraz is supposed to be; Hya!
As Yuhs can puruse last year's updated
version of racers turned vintners, although Y'all are on your own for deciding
what goes good with what; shiraz or Not; Hooah!
Enjoy...
