    That's the thing, the garages all go hot at any event I've been to. It would suck if you couldn't see the cars except on track. I'll call HSR and see what they say.

    Spent all day taking pictures and video.

    Don't have any time to go through them all and post the keepers but here's a few
    for those that are on the fence as to whether they should go and spectate.

    I'll post some more once the smoke clears :)

    Thanks :D

    I can't answer you about the brakes other than to say there was no PS or enhancement to the picture. They really glowed that bright and in that way.

    Here are a couple more shots. The brakes didn't start to show until a few laps into the session and then they really lit up as shown in the first one I posted.

    Weather stinks for pictures right now but the forecast says it will clear up later in the day.

    I'm trying to get myself motivated to hit the track again today but might wait until saturday.

    Here's a few more from thursday.

    I think that poor Aston Martin was the slowest sounding car on the track. But he was out there driving it. And the Brakes on the Ford GT really did glow.

    I have been going to the Daytona 24 hrs since the 60's. My father started racing on the beach with Bill France, his first race had Lee Petty in the class. He did the Century Club down there in a 1956 Jag, this was Feb. 17, 1958. So many of the cars I saw at the Classic 24 I had seen run there in real time. James Redman did a super job, there were always cars on the track, the grid line up did a great job, it was so smooth you would think that they had done it for years at Daytona. The Trans Am racers had to rent the track time from HSR according to the HSR people. So that was a fun race.
    I really liked meeting Arturo Merzario, the F1 driver that pulled Niki Lauda out of his flaming race car, really saving the man's life. He loved the cowboy hat though.

    The #44 Chevron was the one that was bought for the Steve McQueen movie "Le Mans". And, had done some camera work for the movie with James Garner "Grand Prix".
