50th Anniversary Rolex 24 @ Daytona January 26-29, 2012

[SCMP3]

The site said will call is behind one of the grandstands

 

[princess peach]

it's the next "big" entrance after the parking\infield entrance section, I believe towards the east

 

[princess peach]

Let me rephrase that:

On the northwest corner of the track you'll find a parking entrance, there you'll take a shuttle to the infield. On that main road, if you keep going east you'll see a big entrance at a traffic light. After you turn right find a spot on the left side, will call is the building in front of you, inside next to the gift shop.

If you're not in by now, good luck getting a car into the infield any time in the next few hours...

 

[WillD]

Not much of a Mazda presence in the top 10 of the GT class after about 4 hours. Porsche is dominating though.

God....standard definition SUCKS ASS for this stuff! 50" TV and I still can't read the names of who's where scrolling across the top!

 

[WillD]

Pull up live timing and scoring on the computer!

 

[Josue6WGN]

Ah, gotcha!

 

[Josue6WGN]

Eff...problems with Will's Sahlen's car? 57th position, last lap completed...21?

And are they not running the 3rd car? No info on that car at all?

If anyone wants to watch it but don't have access to speed, I have a link for where to stream it. Shoot me a PM.

are you watching the feed on Speed?

 

[aMaff]

are you watching the feed on Speed?

It is Speed's coverage, but not the garbage streaming "here's a few in-car cameras" that they have on the website, it's the full Speed broadcast coverage.

 

[princess peach]

[mx-p5]

Got cold and cramped trying to sleep in the miata.

But I got my dyno runs in!

Here is one of the last photos I took, and probably one of my favorites:

They didn't start the 49 car. It's still primarily used for testing / track time. Easier to get more drivers out for practice with a spare car. The other car went out with shifter problems. It was the car that was testing the paddle shifters.
