The 50th Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona
Um Houston….we might have a problem. The grid walk at the 24 Hours of Daytona last year resembled the Grand Prix of Utah, not a whole lot of people, a couple of thousand, maybe. This year, the walk was wall to wall people. People on the track, people on the grid, people on the grass…..thousands [...]
Waiting for morning Rolex practice
Somehow I doubt the sun will have much impact in this morning’s shooting. Hope the clouds go away for the Conti race this afternoon
Prepping for the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona 2012

Rolex 24 2011 Qualification and Night Practice
Did Turner Motorsport bribe the ferris wheel owners to equip with their colors this year? I think they might have, but I will let you decide. I suppose you noticed that I led with a night image when the title clearly states: Quali 1st, Nighttime 2nd. Sorry, I like the Turner picture better than any [...]
Rolex 24 Field Group Photo Day
We seem to be at Daytona Beach. Weird after living so close to it for the last 12 years that we have never made it down here. Wednesday is a day of very little activity, the haulers bring the cars in and later the entrants have a group shot out on the Pit-In section of [...]
