I think the neatest thing is they can't hide from us. Somebody will sniff them out.
Orbit Racing ran in the ALMS from 2001-2004 in GT Porsches. The team was backed by Leo Hindery who runs the YES! Network which does NY sports media. I'm pretty sure it was some members of Orbit who then formed BAM!, which won Le Mans in 2006 (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). Hindery then decided to take his money elsewhere, and the remaining members of Orbit have spent the last couple of years in IMSA GT3 Cup and I think Grand Am GT. It'd be great to have them back in the series, they were my favorite Porsche team pre-Flying Lizards.

Here's a pic of the livery they ran in 2002, perhaps you'll recognize it.
