Tonight I’m in Braselton, Georgia, just minutes away from Road Atlanta. I’m super-stoked about tomorrow, when I’ll be visiting this legendary racetrack for the first of four straight days of American Le Mans Series action! Tomorrow will start with practice, building up to Saturday’s Petit Le Mans, a ten-hour endurance race and a crucial event on the ALMS circuit. In the meantime, here’s a more official image of the B-K Motorsports team’s all-new all Lola coupe—the hard-roofed version of its LMP2 racecar that’ll be making its debut at this grueling race. According to Dean Case of MAZDASPEED, the coupe will get 10% more downforce and 7% less drag than its open-cockpit predecessor, and will be the first coupe to race in the ALMS LMP2 class. The picture was taken while the car was testing last week at Road Atlanta—I can’t wait to see it in person at the track tomorrow, and I’m hoping to get a chance to talk with the team about the new car. Is there anything you want me to ask them about it?

For that matter, how about a chance to check out Le Mans racing for yourself! All you have to do is upload your most beautiful pic of your car for the Amoco Ultimate Your Car Is Worth It Photo Contest. They’re giving away gas money on a weekly basis, and one Grand Prize Winner will get to go to France for 24 Hours Of Le Mans!

All you guys hating on the A-BAT may be interested to know that Toyota is seriously considering building the thing. Hey, it’s cool with me. I like small pickups. More at The Car Connection.

This was the first time we put two concept vehicles head to head, and it was also our first contest that was no contest at all. Out of over 50 comments I counted just three votes for the Toyota. A lot of people voted "neither," though, and several people questioned the very idea of building a unibody truck. In any case, the GMC Denali XT is definitely a hot concept. More pics of the Denali XT’s Chicago unveiling at Left Lane News.

This week we decided to put two concept vehicles head to head. The Toyota A-BAT concept, which was unveiled last month at NAIAS, vs. the GMC Denali XT concept, which was unveiled in Chicago today. So if Toyota and GMC were to build these unibody trucks, which would you choose?
