Grand Am - Test Days & Rolex 24

Recommended Posts

I have a date with the wind tunnel for "zero" shift (starting at 1am) on Friday morning. I'm going to figure out a way down on Friday, and depending on team commitments I may or may not be able to make it for the get together. Sounds like fun.

 

Does that date include a wing or spoiler ?

This time we're going to call it the CODAT, or "Car Of Day After Tomorrow".

We almost need the carpool going down the east coast.

I am giving serious thought to going this year and have never been.

 

I've never made it either. Only now, I have no excuse since it's only about 4 hours or so.

 

Going to Sebring for sure, but I'm sure Daytona could be fun.

AI/CMC get together Friday night @ 7PM....the Ocean Deck.

We'll start a roll call this week and count down to the Rolex 24.

There's usually over 20-30 AI/CMC racers & followers there each year and we usually don't find out about everyone until afterward.

This year we've GOT to pick a time/place and get folks together for a bit.

 

Those that are going...get a pit pass...most of the show is in the paddock and on the wall.

PS- My plane ticket from Houston was $230 last week....very reasonable for an experience like no other to see how the big boys roll.

Pure guess/speculation.......12-15k for the race as a co driver, not including crash damage....I may be a little low but just guessing here.

 

Download the Continental/Koni lic forms see the Doc, get it all notarized, send in your ck, BAM hit the track!

 

You couldn't get a much better opportunity...Jeff is super fast and most likely a good teacher to help whoever his teammate is to get up to speed quickly.

I have to know. Did Enzo go missing at the track or is that a book promotion?

 

From what I understand, Patrick Dempsey bought the movie rights to 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' from Garth Stein and will be turning it into a movie very soon (gee, I wonder who will play the main character who is an aspiring race car driver???). The dog in the book is named 'Enzo' and coldtrackdays.com has pins that have a pic of the dog and 'goenzo.com' on them.

cars and such...
