The answer to my question by Coach:

**MANDATORY: Entrants participating in the 24 Hours of Daytona on January 26th -29th are required to participate in the January 6th-8th Daytona Test (“Roar”).
from http://competitors.imsa.com/sites/de...vent_entry.pdf"

Of which there were 56.
55 cars were entered and participated in the Roar tests. Page 4 of the competitors supplementary regulations here http://competitors.imsa.com/sites/de...24h_122116.pdf states that the field is capped at 60 cars for practice and qualifying but oddly 57 for the actual race. But since the regulation of only allowing cars from the test to race exists I would think 55 is the max number. Perhaps IMSA would allow a team already entered to add a second car for the race up to the maximum of 57 allowed.
