    Good feedback and great photos. You take the same types of photos that I try to take, so really like your stuff. Hope that you'll be going to the 24h race and posting pics!

    Indeed John! I forwarded them - with permission, to the driver and he was excited to see them.

    AWESOME photos. The night shots are great.

    I was there Saturday.
    The interviews Bob Varsha did during the lunch break were interesting.

    First was (left to right) Alessandro Balzan (Scuderia Corsa #63), Jordan and Ricky Taylor (Wayne Taylor Racing #10), Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia (Corvette Racing #3). Interesting discussion between the Taylor boys about who was going to qualify since both of them have been good qualifiers in the past.

    Then Bob did an interview with Scott Atherton (IMSA President). Scott had to cut the interview short because he had to go make an announcement about who was going to sponsor the North American Endurance Cup. It was Patron tequila who is the multi-year sponsor of that 4 race series.

    :)

    I use auto focus and press the button just before taking the picture. You should try to make it down this year. It's going to be a great time!

    Thanks! I'll be there for all four days and taking lots of pictures and video. I'm happy to post them and hopefully others will contribute to this thread with their pictures and experiences so we can have an interesting Rolex 24 thread to look through :D

    Fantastic pics, I'll be there in two weeks. Driving my 996TT down from OKC, looking forward to a road trip and one of my favorite road racing events. 10th time in the last 11 years. That night shot of the 3 cars on the banking captures the whole essence of The 24 hrs. of Daytona, skill/speed/variety.
    I have two Grassroots package tickets (with parking pass) for sale if anyone is interested.

    okiedude-

    If you still have the pair of Grassroots Motorsports ticket packages available for this year's Rolex 24, please let me know as I might be interested in purchasing them from you. Feel free to reply here on the forum, or you can email me directly. Thanks.

    I wish IMSA would put the entry list up, or am I missing something? I find entries under the schedule, but nothing is listed?

    Awesome! Heck of a package you got and very glad that transaction worked out perfectly between you two. Enjoy the sights & sounds and make sure to stop down by Jason in the TRG camp! He'll be in #009

    I'll find Jason, and thank you very much. I've been to a lot of races but never the 24. It was on my list. Nice way to go.

    Looks like a nice entry list. I can't go to Daytona this year but I do plan on being at Sebring in March. I hope they sort things out even better by then.
