[URY914]

I just printed my tickets to the Roar and the Rolex.

61 entries this year up from only 45 last year

Who else is attending?

We're having a really mild winter so far but we will see what happens as the date gets closer.

I will be watching whatever coverage is on cable TV.

I’m going to the ROAR on Friday.

I’m presuming the garages will be open since they sold paddock passes.

I've read it will be on Peacock (NBC). If you can get it.

I have Peacock Premium and their schedule makes no mention of the Rolex 24 at Daytona

Let me know when there are entries from the Porsche factory in the top class. Then I will be MUCH more interested.

Have fun!

I’m going, 5th year in a row now with my now 14 yo son

[scott540]

Taking my 25 yo son there as our Christmas presents. Never been but we've been talking about doing it for yrs.

Growing up in Jacksonville, it was always a father/son trip starting in the early 70's. Dad is still around but doesn't travel much so he will be watching. For me, it's a can't miss event for 51 years! Our group has grown to a (3) RV compound at the exit of the horseshoe turn. ALL Pelican's welcome, as Byron, Bell and others have been visitors through the years. Look for BBQ smokers, race car furniture, portable hot tub, SCCA team coveralls, and our beloved 55 gal. barrel heater. Baz: 2023 Porsche will be in top LMDH class, see you next year.

BTW - we may have bumped into each other in previous years, given your comments about coming every year. Hope to meet you perhaps in 2023 - have fun!

Porsche and Penske, should be a formidable combination.

2023 will be a watershed year for IMSA. Sounds like a Pelican meet brewing for 2023.
