And as for the substantive part of your post ... I have been a little excited for a few races lately, even races like Petit last year ... this is the first Season that has me really interested.
We still have a whole new car to see (Ligier/Nissan) plus whatever P2s come across for the NAEC, and the mid-engined Porsches, and the usual horde of GTD one-offs for ther Rolex .... This year, even after Sebring, there will be plenty of interesting cars around. Last edited by joeb; 19 Dec 2016 at 14:47. Reason: removed quote |

Your the man Joeb. Thanks for your
housekeeping duties! Very much appreciated by those of us who come here for info. and knowledge the group has on the thread topic. I was about to go ahead and give the Daytona 24 trophy to Rebellion until these driver announcements were made that I missed a couple of weeks ago. These are some WEC top wheelman. I imagine any further car announcements will slow up to the ROAR. Any how , this is the link for the driver announcements: http://www.autosport.com/news/report...daytona-drives |

Heading across for our first Rolex 24 since 1999 and getting progressively more impressed by the entry. Hoping for a good race with minimal impact from extended yellows and the like.
Where are the best spots for photography without fencing getting in the way ? Not long now ! |

at least 2 steps , 3 would be better, when you get here at a Walmart or Home Depot store. You will be able to get shots over the infield fence that way. Donate it to a camper when you are done with it. |

Riley & Scott Mk III #002 - Ford V8 N/A CA
Dyson Racing Team, Inc. (USA) Result: winner - margin: 2 laps You'd think it was an endurance race or something. |

Of course, the Viper, Vette and TRG victories that came in the years that followed showed how weak prototypes outside of ALMS were at the time. |

Also Spirt of Daytona made some significant progress from 1999 to 2017. Also was that the first race for Corvette Racing? |

Does anyone think we have a shot at the distance record set in 1982 of 2,760.960 mi?

Ah, that depends upon your definition of 'beer' of course.
Not sure I would call the stuff they serve up there 'beer', but hey I come from the land of the beer I agree, the entry list (both cars and drivers) is looking promising. I hope to be able to get a stream and watch most of the race from home (I think I saw large chunks of it this year) ... while having a (real) beer |

I buy two thirty packs of Busch Light at the local WalMart and get blitzed on them over the weekend.

The P class average for the duration was 109.1mph last year - basically, one extended caution and it screws the whole jar of pickles unless the lap average speed is much higher. Which.... it may, or may not be. They were only 140mi. short of tying the distance record in 2016. About 90 minutes give or take. |

I can hardly believe that I'm heading back to the 24 after a very long absence (since the first year of the DPs, which were braking for the dogleg). The entry list looks good and the cars look like this century's race cars and I'm hoping for a little less controlling from race control. See ya there.
