Joe:
Great event. I tried to find the Brumos area. Thursday a.m. parked in the Brumos parking area. Walked to find Brumos desk to purchase ticket. Was hoping for a touring lap, but couldn't find the desk for tickets. Couldn't even park there. We enjoyed the paddock- prior to Daytona Prototype qualifying- until the downpour delayed DP qualifying.
Went to the beach. The ocean is awesome, and anytime I get a chance, I'm there. Ocean breeze was tame as the rain trickled over beach-goers. Every time I go to Daytona Beach I wish for a return to the days when there was racing here. That was an incredible era for Daytona.
The race was awesome! Porsche 996 race cars were looking good. I spoke with the guys at HRG. Every had only good things to say [Except for Tony Stewart's (congrats TS for a great Pepsi 400!) comment after the race (you know which one).]
I am glad that you and your Bro-N-Law had a great time. We did too. All week/weekend was great racing.
Jeremy:
I didn't find ya, but like the pics. We were in the infield too (the marschals at the tunnel gate asked me" is that your trunk? We had a great time. The Turbos are something when they gather, huh? I bet you know what I mean
Met a couple Porsche guys. 911T are my favorite. 996TT guys were at the Bristo I guess. Couldn't strike up a conversation regarding sequential turbos.
The Bristo is an option for next year. Go Brumos 59!
The Pepsi for 400 made for an awesome first Rolex series race for you. Cheers!
