U betcha! When I organized the Tribute to Le Mans races for POC , the majority of the members were baffled on how some of the Mulholland "grads" were gleefully awaiting POC's first night race. My brother and I had an absolute blast, with his RS replica, spanking much faster machinery at night

Right you are Dave. All of us couldn't wait to run at night. Saw that happen so many times in the old Firehawk and Escort Endurance races. Also at Daytona 24hrs and Sebring 12 hours in a GTU Mazda.

Now Daytona is lit up like it's mid-day. What a bunch of panzies!
At least Sebring still has some dark spots.

I remember trying to get by a guy at Nelson Ledges in the 24 hour race...No lights there buddy, I can tell you that! He kept me at bay down the straight as I had him covered in the corners.
There was a big banked RH sweeper leading onto the longest straight. Knowing that my lights were shooting past him due to the curve we were both in I simply turned them off! As entered the straight I jumped to the right lights off and slipped by him before he knew I was there! Then turned my lights back on.
I chuckled and thought to myself "Buddy I've bet you've never seen that trick before! It was a good tricked learned from the Mulholland days. (CRE)
