....the 49th running.. Started in 1962 with the Continental, a 3 hour race, won by Dan Gurney. I was there stringing for Competition Press. Where did the time go?
 
Brings back memories... I was at that race when I was in college (a LONG time ago!!). It was very exciting to watch.
 
I was just at a party with 30 people (my grandaughter's 3rd birthday) and I comandeered the TV to watch the start of the race. Actually, a couple of the guys said it was way better than being stuck watching football.

I just got home and a friend just sent me a link to a highly illegal web stream of the 2011 Daytona 24 so as to warn me to avoid it. :wink:

It's been foggy this morning in Fla and the car have been running under a caution for the last 2 hours due to poor vis.
 
Thanks, Nial. I shoulda gone over there but we're stuck in here with "chores" we can't ignore.

fooey.
 
My in-laws spent their honeymoon at the 8th annual running of the 24 hrs of Daytona. they celebrated their 41st anniversary yesterday.
Dad-in law was a track worker after retiring from driving due to a nasty wreck at Riverside. My Mom-in-law tells how she spent the night in the Italian pits, afraid to say yes to anything they said, not knowing what they were offering.
Dad-in-law tells how spooky it was at night in pit road, as the cars would shut off their engines and lights, and coast by. Whoosh!
