Watching the big boys play

It’s Day 1 of the 50th anniversary of the Rolex 25 at Daytona International Speedway. This is the first day everyone is out (not counting the Roar before the 24 earlier this month), shaking down the cars. And, not kidding, they get right down to business – practice in the morning, qualifying the same afternoon.

I’m not gonna lie. It was hard to concentrate. But we still managed to learn a few things: Mazda’s spit fire. Ferrari’s are shockingly quiet. ‘Stangs, Camaros, Astons and BMW’s roar. And the Daytona Prototypes? They shake your entire soul.

And, finally, the question everyone asks: how steep is that banking? Let us say, for now it’s… ridiculous. Stay tuned. We’ll be canvasing the facilities to get good shots of everything, including that banking…. We’re sure to get some crazy shots of degree angle when we do the 5K, on the track, Saturday morning. Until then, enjoy these. More to come!

That’s right, MW3 Motorsports is heading south tomorrow morning – to Daytona, FL for the 50th Anniversary of the Rolex 24! We wish we were driving. Instead we’ll be among the crowd, cheering on our favorite teams and drivers. (Go Turner!!) Tune into SPEED – maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of us enjoying ourselves.

It’s going to be a crazy weekend. This is on our must-do list:

Thursday: Practice and qualifying
Friday: Parade of Champions and Exhibit, more practice sessions, BMW Performance 200 starts at 1:30 pm EST
Saturday: Daytona 5K (we’re walking the track!), driver autograph session, Rolex 24 starts at 3:30 pm EST
Sunday: Rolex 24 finish at 3:30 pm EST

In between all that we’ll be enjoying all that Daytona International Speedway has to offer. This includes tastings from the Bavarian Beer Garden, Chili Cook-Off, Wine & Cheese Party and the Cafe 24 Breakfast Garage. That doesn’t even count the tickets we snagged… right above pit road!

We’ll have the camera on and focused – leave us a note on FB if you have any special requests and we’ll do our best to capture the shot you’re looking for. We may even see if they’ll let us up on the giant ferris wheel with it to see what kind of perspective that gives us.

Cheers!

2011 has been a fun season so far in the MW3 Evo IX. With a rough start to the season by cutting a tire at the first event and barely mustering 2nd place, it seems to have picked up and we have started to put down some good laps. Jim and the Evo have made [...]

This past weekend was a blissful one at the track for two of us here at MW3. It was mid-May the last time Jeff & I rolled rubber on track surface (with NASA at Pueblo). Far too long. We were getting antsy, so Jeff & I signed up for an open lapping at HPR Friday. [...]
