    Drive Daytona! April 14-15

    I'm organizing the Celebration Exotic Car Festivals track event again this year. Again, we will be on Daytona International Speedways' full Rolex course. If you watched in of the Rolex 24 race and felt excited about just watching, imagine getting to drive it. This is one of the BEST track events you can participate in. Daytona is THE fastest track in the country you can run your car at. You can hit 170 twice per lap. The DP cars will be over 180 (yes, DP cars participate). We cap each run group so there isn't any issues with traffic. There are 3 run groups and each group gets five 30 min. sessions per day. Cost is $795 for 2 days and $495 for a single day. There will be a wide variety of cars in attendance along with a ton of enthusiastic car people. You cannot usually get on the Rolex course this time of the year as some of you know but we have done it for the last couple of years with fantastic results thanks to the France family who participates with us. All payments are made directly to charity so your entry fee counts as a donation for tax purposes.

    If you have any questions, please post here or PM me. Hope we get some more Vipers registered.

    This sounds like an amazing event. I wish shipping wasn't so expensive.

    Daytona is awesome. If you've never driven the banking, it's incredibly steep, and way bumpier than it looks on TV.

    You should also get a Daytona specific alignment with less negative camber.

    Lastly, if you have a windshield banner, it's a good idea to cut off a triangular section. It's really hard to see at speed in the banking.

    Track is much smoother since the repave from a couple of years ago.
    The big bump coming out of Nascar 4 is gone.

    As for vison, if you don't look far enough ahead you will make yourself sick pretty quickly, I've seen it. It's definitely an unique experience. Extremely fun!!!
