Pics from Daytona

I thought you might enjoy a few pictures from the 24 hrs @ Daytona.


At the last minute, we decided to drive down in my friends Z06 (with the Z07 package) instead of my 911.





Don't we all want one of these?





Not a huge Gallardo fan, but the replacement is quite nice.





This is what happens when an old 911 turns into the Incredible Hulk.





Classic British sports car.





Classic BMW





New BMW M2





BMW M6 GTLM car.





New Ferrari 488.





Some cars didn't fare so well over night.





Just WOW.





Classic 550 Spyder (I'm assuming a Beck Spyder and not original).





The new Ford GT (race car and street car). Very impressive in person.











Some pictures of the track.

Outside at night.





The Fan Zone.

Big Screen.





The concert stage in the background.





Saturday night fireworks.





From the stands.





It's all part of the show.





Highly modified 997 turbo street car.








Later, Steve

Like sitting on the wrong side at a college game, it was really cool they don't have team orders not to battle it out. Hard clean racing to the end.

It has been a long time since a car has triggered the "I must own one someday" like the Ford GT has. Sadly I doubt it'll ever hit the right depreciation point for me to go that route, this step into a 996tt was a big enough leap as it was.

ford is doing some Ferrari crap and pretty much interviewing previous ford owners as to what their plans are for the car. with only 250 being built and 400000$, id say its going to be as attainable as a Enzo.
