I went down to the Rolex 24 Hour Race in Daytona this past weekend. A bunch of my buddies (and my brother's buddies) from back in college made it a point to go down and I believe I heard it was their 13th year going. This was my first trip to a race and it was pretty cool. We camped out in the infield on Saturday night and it was constant roaring of the engines for 24 hours straight. Well, except for the few long yellow flags and the one red flag. If you haven't heard about the wreck a corvette hit a disabled Ferrari at speed and there were rumors the Corvette driver didn't make it. We found out later that night that he had broken his back.

Not only was there racing, but they had booths and booths and fields and fields of cars. I've never seen 10s of millions of dollars of cars in one place before, but there was a couple hundred car parking field of Porsches. Lambos and Ferraris cruising the main road in the infield. Saw a few split window buses and 2 bays. They had a guy selling VW ads and so I picked one up that I need to get scanned in. In one of the booths, they had a Baywindow Hightop model car, but they wanted $55 for it 

Anyhow, it was an awesome time and I've now added it to my list of trips to make annually now. Matthew went too.

Looks and sounds pretty interesting. I would love to do this one year!

I would like to do that

I will have to look into the vintage races. That sounds like a blast.

When Memo wrecked, we didn't really know what had happened, except that it go really quiet and you could finally hear that they had announcers. I was able to pick up the announcers when their mics weren't hot (?) on the scanner. Not sure how that worked, but you could hear them between broadcasting. The initial rumor was that he had died. Everyone was walking around looking pretty down.
