The time between Christmas and New Year’s is a bit weird. Its like non time. Things happen, but it seems like they don’t have to. We are sitting in Arizona wondering why its so cold here since we came this way on purpose. Its been warmer in our old stomping grounds of Athens, GA. Bah, maybe I will go kick a cactus or something.
Part of the last few days has been working out our travel schedule for 2012. Assuming we don’t lose our minds and drive down to the Dakar (not likely) the 24 Hours of Daytona will be the first stop on our spring January tour. Last year was the first time we shot the race (or attended it for that matter) and we were pleased by the dry weather. After watching many cold and rainy Daytona 24Hs on television, we were expecting it to be cold and wet.

Aside from the extra long fog delay that burned off just after sunrise, the weekend was without weather interference. I imagine that since everything went so smoothly last year, and I also mentioned it here, the weather gods will be after us. We will miss the Roar since we are staying out West as long as possible, but look for update posts starting on Wednesday the 25th.
See you at the Track!
