• A handful of pics from Daytona

I have 500+ to go through, none are superb, but I like them. Here are a few I've been able to upload so far. The bottom pic is kinda cool, look closely you can see the driver's giving each other a thumbs up, this was on the cool down lap, they finished 1-2 in the GTLM class, with the C7R taking first.

It was really cool to be able to walk out on the track, and to be able to walk through the garage area, even while the races were going on. Plenty of clueless people walking around, so when a car happened to be coming through (since they don't have horns) they would rev the shit out of the car and scare the crap out of people. It was funny to see. Also cool to watch crews repair cars during the races.

What is that one car that says "tire kingdom"? It's very strange looking.

Cool picks

That's from the Prototype class, the car is a Ligier Honda. The Mazda from the P class shared a similar body style. Same class as the eventual overall winner (shown in the first pic, and shown later in more pics that I'll post). The real battle in that class came from the Corvette DP cars (not at all like the yellow on pictured above) and the 2 Ganassi Fords. The 60 car spun with about 7 minutes left right in front of us, right when another car crashed and caught on fire on the backstretch that caused a full course caution. So 24 hours came down to a 2 or 3 lap sprint at the finish.

Ooooo Porsche please.
Is that a BMW Z4 M on that last pic?

That is a Z4M. I'll get a few more uploaded when I get home Friday. I've got a lot of 911 pics, both action and garage.

Hers's a video of a car with a similar ridge down the middle so you can see from other angles. It's just more air stability control.
