Hey, are you coming to the Rolex 24 at Daytona? We'll be in the infield, in the giant tent near Lake Lloyd. There will be a car show, valve cover racing, and we'll have several of our project cars on display. Also: Free Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee in the mornings.

So, who's gonna be there, and what wheels are you bringing—either driven or of the valve cover variety?

Ohh, that weather doesn't look inviting.

Not that it would stop me if I were free.

Admission tickets will (virtually) never sell out, but it sounds like infield parking passes are always a hot commodity, and often sell out. Anyone with first hand experience can fill anything else in.

Ok cool. I don't care where I park but I want to make sure I can catch some action on Saturday before I leave to go home early Sunday morning.

Same as last year, I won't be very visible around the tent myself; I'm working on the Team Sahlen crew for the duration of the race. But the rest of the GRM staff will be there, so stop in and say hello.

Here's a chat with Aaron Provoledo just before the start of the Conti Challenge race. Sadly their day ended after a pretty catastrophic crash during a full-course yellow.

1600 images.

I have some filtering to do.

Thanks for the shade and coffee. Chatted up Tommy today about CMS and so on.

Now to deal with the small task of 24 hours / 2500 km drive home. Sigh.

If you weren't there, your ears aren't ringing. Here's a taste of the loudness:

Did you bring Mongo down?

and, on this thought, I REALLY want to get there next year but my Bob Costas ass won't sleep on the ground anymore. I have 1-2 friends who will shell out the $$$ to kick in on an RV and and parking space. Anyone here interested in doing this?
