There is so much to cover, I will be doing so over the next few posts as I sort through my hundreds of photos that document the year's first race and an outstanding 3 days that I was there witness it.
Ford is showing strength in the first round of the series and I suggest you mark this event as a precursor of bigger things to come. Not that the Rolex 24 Hour at Daytona is a minor league event, just the opposite. It is our super bowl of sports car racing in America. However, looming on the horizon is the shadow of the biggest sports car race in the world- the 24 hours of Le Mans. Is it a coincidence that the latest issue (February 2nd, 2015) of Autoweek is featuring a story about the Ford GT and an article about Henry Ford III and an unofficial bean spilling mention that Ford Motor Co. will field a factory backed two car team in 2016, working with Ganassi Racing that will include a run at Le Mans? Very Interesting
Back to Daytona- here's some nice pictures to start with and a link to the IMSA coverage of the race.
