Cool 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

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:

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.

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.

4. Hadagsl-se (Greg) wife, friends etc. Fri/Sat/Sun

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.

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
