24 Hours of Daytona 2013

Been to Rennsports II and III, but never been to the actual 24 Hours Race and will definitely be back. I went by myself on for Sunday and took pics of the Porsche Corral and some racing in there as well. The PCA tent was awesome providing plenty of food and beverages while having a live feed of the race via big screen. It made a big difference in the overall enjoyment of the event. I hope you like.

In an Audit (eventual winner) - Ferrari traini:


Brumos, if you squint really, really hard:

However, this is how my weekend started Friday night and it still hurts - other driver's fault - its being taken care of and will soon be in good hands to nurse it back to health...

Greaet pics Otto! OUCH! Sorry to see that on your car! Here is how my 2013 Rolex went:

The drivers and me in pre-grid:
Seth Thomas, James Clay, my self, Darryl O’Young, Karl Thomson, and Dan Rogers



Podium at the ROLEX 24! WOW! I never thought I would ever be in this circle as a competitor! Now I have to get here as a driver!



Closeup of the trophy. I didn't let it go for a long time!:

EDIT: There was a lot of pain and suffering between those 1st two pictures that my body is trying to forget...

Before the race waiting for tech:


After the race... only lost the front splitter in the last 2 hours... damn bus stop is hell on cars:



QUIZ: And who was garaged next to us? (hint: former F1 and Indy stars from Brazil):


2 hours of caution... I don't know why... the cars have lights on them!


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz:

Really nice pics guys thanks for posting! Did you notice how many porsches ended up with out their rear lower body panels. I saw one just blow off at speed.

Otto, Bummer about the damage to your car.

Cheers Richard
