#21 Raffanelli Lola cannot be moved after hitting wall. The car is finished.
The #32 Reynard VW stopped at the pit entrance, going no further. It then restarted and crawled into the pits at 10:08.
Andretti is handing over the #11 Panoz to Brabham after a double stint at 10:13
Also Audi's are pitting with #9 short stinting by two laps. Trouble?

At 10:20 there are no surprises. Audi crushes LMP900 competition, but Panoz is still hanging in. LMP675 cars are close to extinction. GTS has become all Viper. #83 Barbour Porsche has a lock on GT3. Are we hexing anyone?
Hi, to WOR SCCA and Spencer in the States.

England beats Germany 1-0 in football
With new bodywork, #21 Lola is back on the track.
#2 Cadillac is still stuck with a wheel that cannot be removed in the pits. They need to solve the problem of brake dust clog or differential coefficient of expansion (wow).
Hey, it's getting cooler in the press room. We won't die. Now, somebody should provide the starving press with food before we weaken.
The top positions still hold.
Problem for #9 Audi. RR axle work . Car in garage. Its having rear replaced with transmission and suspension. Quicker than replacing axle. Bodywork on in about six minutes.

It's getting close to bedtime. Although we writers aren't paid, Club Arnage has arranged to have the Hawaiian Tropic girls tuck Paul and Jock to bed. They refuse to read us Dr. Zeuss, however.
#9 Audi has over taken #11 Panoz for third. Amazing Audi pit work. Amazing Deutsch Marks.
Temperature is about to drop 50 degrees F.
