Couldn't fit the entire title in the subject line like I normally do.
So, after a record breaking performance by the Mustang Sampling/Action Express Racing Cadillac at Daytona, we head 120 miles southwest to the former site of the Hendricks Army Airfield for a grueling 12-hour race on a track that should have been repaved years ago. 41 cars are entered in the 66th running of the Florida classic. BAR1, Jota Sport, and one of the two United Autosport cars that raced at Daytona will not be competing, along with the two Grasser Racing Lamborghini's, the Manthey Porsche, and the Risi Competizione GTD Ferrari.
One addition to the field comes in the form of the CJ Wilson Racing Acura NSX, piloted by Marc Miller, Till Bechtolsheimer, and Dale Coyne's favorite driver, TBA.
Along for the ride this year in form of support categories will be IMSA's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge for a two hour race on Friday. It seems a slightly smaller grid compared to Daytona, with 37 entries. 27 GS, 5 TCR, 5 ST.
IMSA's Prototype Challenge is also in competition, for their second race of the year. It will be a 1hr45min race on Friday morning, seeing 26 cars take the green.
Finally, we see the first combination race for the USA and Canadian Porsche GT3 Cup series, who will run two races at 45 minutes in length. One on Thursday, one Friday. 37 cars are expected to start.
