Well, what a long an miserable time the race was weather wise. BUT aside from that, it was very cool, lot's of action. I moved to the covered grandstands for the start because of the rain, which didn't help much, but it was something. The infield had it's share of creepers and idiots, so I pretty much just stayed out of there. But the grandstands were good seats. I'd like to summarize it all, but there are too many scrambled thoughts, I'm tired as hell and worn out from walking and freezing all day.
It was cool.
The heritage cars were awesome, open top spyder, the old Sunoco Camaro's, Boss Mustang, old Porsche Copenhagen sponsored something, other old Porsche's that sounded so much better than the new ones, old Jaguar, 90's Trans-Am series Camaro, even an IROC car.
They did a few exhibition laps, very neat to see and hear, and BTW, they smell great, whatever fuel they were burning was top notch stuff.
Much better than the cars in the races... If anyone cares.
I met a bunch of very cool people, all the TRG drivers, The Flying Lizards, some of the Turner Motorsport drivers, haha I finally got around to meeting Alex Roy, and seeing the Polizei M5 in person. Only one couple of fans I met that were any good to talk too. Seemed like everyone else was piss-drunk and stupid, walking in front of my Jeep while I'm driving doing pelvic thrusts... Not a good idea... Or the creepy guy that kept walking over to my Jeep while me and my girlfriend were eating, breathing all heavy and drinking beer, he never actually left his car, so I moved. It's really weird, because I did not expect some of this behavior from what I would expect to be enthusiasts, hell, I've not seen it at Nascar races. When I pulled in at 830AM Saturday, people were walking around drinking, being stupid. I dunno, it has nothing to do with the race, but it soured my experience quite a bit. However, the main grandstands were nice, just very cold today with the wind. I've been to Nascar races and been in the infield, but never at night, so maybe that's what it was... 👎
I did not care who came 1st in the DP class, though I guess I was pulling for the Uberwurx Crawford, which had a tire go down and nothing but problems after that. I was hoping for the #63 TRG/Poliezi Porsche to do good, but they too had problems, but still finished. Boris Said and the Turner M6 did pretty well. Those RX8's spit flames like nothing I've ever seen before, and were the loudest things on track aside from the Turner Motorsports M6. The Camaro GTR's were pretty cool, one ended up having the hood and fenders amputated, but the other #59 I think it was did alright for the team. I've got some pictures to upload, along with some video, I'll put that in the Rolex picture and video thread. But that will have to wait.
If I do it again, I'm getting a motor home to rent and sitting atop it. That's the only way
oh, and a golf cart for mobility. Just so much walking. Hopefully Mikey can do a better job than I am trying to tell the story.
