Rolex 24 at Daytona Jan 29-30, 20B PP awesomeness!
 

G's 3rd Gen, myself and my brother are going to this. Ray Crowe may make it down also. I went last year and had an absolute blast, nothing like overnight racing and 20B's spitting flames at each turn :D

Who's interested in meeting us at the track? for a few rotorheads G can also get reduced rate tickets for the weekend. More info here:

Hey Rich,

Want me to bring those wires? =)

Hmm
this seems interesting...

Just bought my plane tickets, who else is interested :D?

come on down guys! Gonna be a blast!!

I'll be down there Friday after work and Sat/Sun!!

Ill be over at the Grassroots tent helping them out. I will probably have the RX-7 out there this year. 84 Light Blue GSL-SE.

I'll be there
what team is runnin rotary?

oh, duh must be the rx-8's, nm
I saw 3-rotor and immediately thought a prototype team
thats where im used to looking when i hear em on track....

Seven 3 rotor p-port rx8s on the grid. Was out this afternoon watching the practice session and they were ripping... Mind you they won it last year. Also the track has fresh asphalt and word is the best its ever been. Even drafting was tight in practice today. It was cool to listen to the crowds wowing and awwing as they were down shifting into the infield from 190+ spitting 5 foot flames!!

Although that 20B is awesome, I'll be going to the 12 Hours of Sebring for the 10th straight year.

So lets start the list of those expecting to show up and maybe we can meet somewhere to put names with faces.

1.evot23 Eddie Fri eveningi/Sat/Sun

Lets get the list going! I have a source for $85 dollar tix. for $50 !! Thats Fri. and sat. infield and granstand access and a garage access!! Yes garage access!! It also includes a $10 concession voucher. So if you were planning on eating its actually a $40 deal! These tix are limited!! First come first serve. Maybe we could coordinate a meet and greet dinner on Saturday evening. Tons of restaurants within a mile from the track! Including the winghouse!! I will be setting an 8 man tent hopefully near the horshoe apex in the infield if the weather cooperates. If not, we will have a pick up truck filled w/ goodies parked in the same location for a base camp and sleeping at my place for a fews hours Sat. evening and waking up early to watch the sunrise on the track till the checkered falls.

I will be hanging out mostly near the Grassroots tent probably helping with parking on Fri and Sat. Free Coffee and Krispy Cremes in the Morning. My Blue GSL-SE will be probably be there. Just ask any of the GRM staff for Greg and they should be able to find me.

There are pit tours and other stuff that GRM puts on for everyone. All free. Also usually there is a live feed of the race in the tent if you need to take a load of or get out of any weather.

Sweet!

This just in, Scrubby McBubbles and his professional photog Johnny 'SlimJim' Renna may be flying into town :D :icon_tup:

Sweet!

Well, my wife is having to work but I will be up Saturday along with a friend of mine. I am looking forward to meeting you guys. Rich, you have been very helpful over the forum and it will be nice to actually get to meet you in person.

so that means you actually know who I'm talking about :lol:?

I hope I don't let you down :blush:

Just try and catch me before we crack open the 4 loko's :D:D:D

we're going , just to root for seckridge and vicky(speed source), unless the weathers bad. been there , done that ,and it's no fun in the freezing rain.

nope but the more the merrier lol


Same here, seems to always rain during Rolex. Add the cold and the infield camping is miserable.

I agree! Thats why the camping thing is just an option at this point. If anything like the past few years it wont happen. G

G, how can I get that deal on the tickets?
 

G, Please let me know how I can Get 2 of the $50 tickets? Thanks!

Will

I'm thinking about going. Already have the days off from work.

Last year I rented a car and slept in it. I sorta wanna bring the RX-7 this year, but I'm not sure how well I'll sleep in it. :)

And yeah, bring your rain gear. Rained last year. No fun if you're wet.

Our shop is going to come out (most likely) have some surprises in store=)

i "slept" in mine for two years. Not fun and I was younger. This year its auto air mattress and a tent at minimum.

Guys,
I found out the tix are for Sat. and Sun. NOT FRIDAY! SORRY ! Still includes infield and garage access and $10 concession dollars. I am purchasing the discounted tix. tomorrow. If anyone else needs them let me know asap. pm me for exchange details. Phone is 386-566-7717. Its highly unlikely after Sat. I can get anymore. G

UPDATE! To all of those who paypaled in advance your ticket packages are in! I still have access to them as my company has not sold them all yet. PM me and I can see if I can help you out. Face value of the package is $100 at the gate. Pretty damn good deal @50% off. Just trying to help out fellow rotorheads. G

Anyone planning on camping Sat night?

Ill be there but im coming with some friends in an RV will be down Thursday to Sunday. Ill try to find some of you guys.

Holly

yup, sure he won't remember me from years ago but we've had plenty of good conversations every time we meet.

jealous, wish was going!

Come on up Simon! PLenty of room and tix to go around! :nod:

Better get that Modelo on ice G, I'll be touching down soon and we've got an engine to drop in before the race starts :icon_tup:

Not sure where we will meet up...I have a few cell #s from the group. pm me if you want mine.

We'll be using G's pickup truck as a home base/alcohol dispensing station...... maybe he can post up some distinguishing marks so that you guys can find us :)

What section are you guys in at the infield? I think I'm in the GEICO Caveman area...lol

I can't wait for this. I am going to swing by G's tomorrow to pick up tickets and check out his car. G- Thanks again for this great deal!

One of my friends and I will be hanging out most (possibly all) of the night. Decide to camp or not when we get there... Who needs sleep?

^^Ah nice, so you'll catch us with the engine half in the bay and us half in the bag..... a couple of 6 packs into the job :lol:

[Disclaimer: I do not drink to excess when working on cars, and never at the shop. Carry on.]

Why not get a cheapo hotel, there are tons on the beach to support bikeweek/biketoberfest that are on the cheapo scale... all the hotels nearer to the speedway costed more to my recollection(baring the highend ones).

I was planning on parking as close to the horseshoe (east end as possible.) Beds and couchs are stuffed at my house! There is floor room if you want to bring an air matress or sleep bag HAHA! G

sleeping in the infield and hearing motors all around you...great thing. Almost as good as Sebring

+1

going to be at Sebring 12hr this year also woot
