While I think the “ACO and IMSA really hate each other” angle is just a case of people making stuff up, I can see why it wouldn’t be a great look for the (Acura/Honda/HRC/Asimo/HondaJet) ARX-06 to ambush the field

True but every other big social account is writing it like the 963 is completely done and getting clicks that way

They’re entitled to it if they don’t completely crap the bed this Saturday, but they’d need the 963 to be in WEC full time - because the ACO doesn’t want one off entries from manufacturers that don’t have a full season presence (because they don’t wanna make BOP all fucky)

won't Porsche Penske get an invite from IMSA?

But one thing that’s being grossly overlooked: The door to Le Mans is not completely shut if a private team can run 2 963s in WEC next year. Who would that team be? Don’t know. But it is an option.

Balance of Performance methodology can be completely overhauled in a couple hours - I think this is purely a board decision

sometimes you just want to speak your mind, but then you refrain because you know it just isn't worth it.

NFL’s New Overtime Rules

- First possession per team
- Which comes first: score or possession
- If coin flip is heads, elect to kick or receive. Same if tails, once possessions
- If a field goal is kicked on first possession, team on field must acquiesce
