Rolex 24 at Daytona

Another interesting day was spent watching the sports cars race twice around the clock. I enjoyed watching the Prototype cars, but my favorite class was the GT cars. Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins, BMWs. What a show! And the winning drivers are each sporting a new Daytona on their wrist this morning.

This year I put an in-car camera on my big screen. My wife said she thought we were at the speedway! I had the theatre volume up to 50% level, and nothing but the lovely roar of a racing engine (no commentary). Too bad I didn't have telemetry and pit to car radio. I switched from Chevy V8 to Porsche flat six every few laps. It was great!
