Evergaldes Region Report from the Rolex 24 Race at Daytona

A couple of friends and myself just got back today from the Rolex 24 at Daytona. We ran into Gary Karnes at the PCA hospitality tent. It was a great race, especially for Porsche, winning the Daytona Prototype Class and the GT class. It was great to stand next to the fencing that lines the tri-oval after midnight and be only a few feet away from the Daytona Prototype cars going by at 195 mph. There were a lot of interesting cars and sights both on the track and in the infield. We saw Brian Redman, Danica Patrick, Juan Pablo Montoya, Patrick Dempsey, and more. A few of my pictures are below. On the way back from Daytona we stopped at Sebring to watch the American Le Mans Series teams unload and get ready for test days, January 26-28th.
