Default Rolex 24 at Daytona, who's going?

http://www.grandamerican.com/E...ID=77

Due to day job requirements, we've got a 53 hour time limit to drive 700 miles each way and watch an entire 24 hour race in between.

We're arriving sometime before dawn on Saturday and moving into the infield ASAP, hopefully finding a spot near the fence somewhere after the international horseshoe turn. We'll be in a black 4dr '95 Integra and white '92 Sentra SE-R, both with VA plates.

Who else will be down there? Stop by and have a BEvERage

Jon

I've got a bunch of friends who will be pit marshalling the event. I can't make it this year.

I am driving through the night next Wednesday/Thursday morning for a Thursday morning arrival. I'm coming from Columbus, OH with 4 of my best friends. It's going to be a freaking blast!

So if anyone see's a maroon '98 Ford conversion van with Ohio plates on it, that's me!!! Seriously, if anyone's going to have a little campground or something through the night, we got beer!

But think of all this lovely sleet and freezing rain you're missing out on right now by being only an hour from Daytona!

We're definitely gonna party at the campsite as the night wears on, and we'd love to put some faces to screen names over a or twenty.

PM me for a cell # if you're interested

I'm going to Sebring from Mon-Wed for the ALMS test, then driving up to Daytona to work with one of the teams for the race. The weather will be a nice break from the Michigan ice and snow!

I will be going down hopefully Friday morning. My Department Director(Navy shore duty) is being a b*^^&. We have an inspection that next week and he's concerned we won't have everything done. If it's the last day and not everything is.........it won't be done by Monday. So if all else, I'll be headed down Friday afternoon. If you see a E46 325i with a Dale Jr. plate that's my wife and I.......It's her car.

Forecast for the weekend in Daytona is much better than last year's cold rain.

68/50 and partly cloudy on Saturday, 70/52 and partly cloudy on Sunday.

Looks like Hoosier won't have to worry about running out of rain tires for the DPs.

Should be a blast, can't wait. We got another 3-4" of snow up here last night and it's still cold. I need some Florida...

Replied.

No snow here, but we've had sleet and freezing rain since yesterday. This afternoon it warmed up enough to melt it slightly, and now it's about to re-freeze overnight. I *definitely* need some Florida!

See ya Saturday-

Jon

I'll be there, too. In fact, I'll probably drive the hatch since their parking lot can be tough for an S2000 or a lowered Miata.

And if you need someone to cheer for, can I suggest our guys? (They're former Acura guys, so they speak our language.)

You'll have a hard time convincing me to pull against myself and for the Racesite guys. Though I'm a former Acura guy as well, having driven an NSX in the series on a few occassions the last 2 seasons.

I'd like to see you do well out there too Brian. Is the 87 951 in the sig the same dark blue one from NASA?

Best of luck at Daytona!

The NSX couldn't be the street car from VIR was it??

Yep, the 951 is the same one from my old NASA days. The NSX I drove a few times was one of the DAL Motorsports cars. Was a really nice car, was a shame it didn't have better luck on the track or get more support from the series. Was not my street NSX streetcar though, the racecar actually started life as a friend's wife's car.
