Default Rolex 24

Ok guys, it's that time of year again, the Rolex 24 is coming up. Last year i attempted to organize a parking spot for us, and although we wound up with one, it was obvious the track was not prepared for us.

After talking to a few people i've been asked to attempt to organize a parking spot for us in the infield again this year.

If you are interested in going, i need you to post here ASAP, so when i'm talking to the office i can give a preliminary head count.

I plan on calling the first week of January...Soo lets get this count as high as possible!

Beer, camping, and racing, how can it get any better than that?!

Count me in, Chris. Think we can get Stu to lock his keys in again? That was entertaining last time.

Guys, if this year matches or in any way outdoes last January, you've got to get in on this. Good food, good beer, good racing, and good times!

I could stand it a tad warmer, but the Rolex is always chilly, it seems.

Any chance Gainesville is in the plans again as part of the festivities? I missed out on that part last time, and want to see if somebody (not me!) can duplicate Bud's splashy performance.

This is the one time of the year I wish I lived in FL

I am going to see the Rolex 24 before I die.......just not this year

Does anybody know how far Sanford is from Daytona? I was considering coming down on the Auto-train when I finally do make the trip.

Hoist a few for me!

GO VETTES! ( or will there be any vettes in the race?) I never know who races with which series anymore.

Sanford is approx. 30 miles west of Daytona Beach. Straight shot from Sanford to Daytona using I-4.
