Now that "we" have a car running I'll take some better shots of it. That one above is below par.

Here is the fastest qualifier, after his run posing with teammates. Jordan Taylor, Renger van Der Zande. Ryan Hunter-Reay

I got into the pits during qualifying. There is so much confusion during the changing of the cars on the track I can usually slip past security.

I'm on the tracks wifi and everyone else here must be on it too. Very slow so not no more pics for now.

This was something that kind of happened last minute. We had the chance to sponsor a car/team and jumped on the opportunity - hoping for more in the future. Root for the Park Place Motorsports #73 GT3R

First time at Daytona and the Rolex is truly amazing.

My friend and I lucked into the IMSA shoot for the number 58 Wright Motorsports car. We got to watch the fun, take pics, and chat and get autographs of all four drivers. I’ll post pics after the race since I’m not good at that.

Fun fact from the Manthey team regarding the green paint on edges of their diffusers: those edges are ankle biters and they paint them to warn the unknowing.

I lived in Orlando for 18 years and went to the 24 probably 15 times stayed once for the entire 24 . In my opinion while a great way to start the season the 12 Hours of Sebring is a more entertaining event . Good luck to the # 73 team they have a great group of drivers and should do well .
