Rolex 24 hr Race - Who's going?
 

I'll be at the races the weekend of the 27th. Who's going? We should meet up during the weekend.

Is Charlie going this year? I think he usually goes.

I'm really looking forward to this race. Check out the Gallery of Testing images they have up already: http://www.daytona24hr.com/24hr2005/photogallery.html

Here are a few images from their website.

i will be there unless the weather really really sucks..

also i am going to try to make the koni challange on fri.

beers :beer:

Awesome! Look up "MazdaratiRob" with Roar Racing. They have 2 cars in the Koni Challange. It' will be worth your time, I promise!

am finding it hard to find tic prices for this event. found the schedule on the grand site.

guess i will have to call daytona... how 80s.

beers :beer:

I'll be there Fri-Sun. Gonna do the cheesy parade lap on Fri in the RX8 so that my dad can ride on the course.

is there not a seperate tic for just fri?

beers :beer:

I'll be there...I'll keep an eye out for you. I usually hang out around turns 3,4 & 5.

i am guessing that the fri race is going to be like the practice time. you get into the infield and can go where ever???

beers :beer:

I'll be there guys - we'll have to meet up somewhere. My group is down to only one other guy as a definite (With about 5 others as "maybes"). We'll have beer and meat, so I'm sure we won't be unpopular. :p:

I will be there with Lego. Just bought my tickets for Sat & Sun with a garage pass.

Here's a track map. Anywhere you all want to meet up?

As I said in the other thread, I vote we choose to meet at one three places:

1) The "kink" in the infield portion of the track between the two hairpins. (Hard to describe a definite location)
2) The Fanzone (Easy to spot, but could be busy)
3) At one of the team garages. Perhaps an RX8 team (of course, this won't work unless everyone has purchased garage passes)

i have not been so i have no idea of what to expect for crowds. i am going on fri. weather permiting.. rob, be a leader. start a new thread, and i do think the decision should be made closer to the race day.

beers :beer:

I think that can be arranged. I'll figure out some way to contact everyone either by cell or at least try to corral everyone in one spot at a specific time. I've only been one other time, so I'm not entirely familiar with the course, but I think I can whip something up. Also - a side note based on prior experience with meets - we need to find some way to identify our group so newbies can spot us even without having contact numbers.

give me a day or two on this. i have not even looked at the 24 hr. i am all about fri...

beers :beer:

Hey, who wants to hook the group up with RX8 tees!? Free advertising! :D:

Not really interested in RX8 tees, since I have a Z. :)

Lego and I are staying at the Homewood suites next to the track on Friday and Saturday night.

I would say that if everyone has Garage passes that we meet on Saturday at a certain time at one of the teams. I would vote for Playboy as they not only run badass cars but they also have eye candy :Eyecrazy:

I may run out there on Friday then head home for sleep, seeing as it's only an hour or two away from me. Though, I just figured it was traditional for everyone to stay on the infield all night Saturday night.

Is there camping at the track all weekend? I may have to convince my wife that I need to drive down to this race.

Just on race day, as far as I know. I think you have to pay some crazy amount to get 4-day parking.

I'm there....

Less than a week guys! We'll need to work on finalizing a meeting place for all of us.

I just got approval from the wife to drive down. There seems to be some tight rules on the track website on what you can bring into the track. Does that apply to just the grandstands, infield, parking lot or all the above?

I will be wearing my orange Chicago Bears t-shirt for identification.
I will be in full race scanner geek mode. Also I will have FRS radio on channel 8-8.
