We arrived after a 658 mile trek, at our hotel in Daytona Beach at 1AM EST. Remembering that we also lost the hour of sleep, with the change from CST to EST and that we left at 2:30 PM CST from New Orleans, we had a 9.5 hour trip last night/morning.
Now I am of course awake at 5:30 as usual, and feeling the tiredness already, but we must press onward. Today we will have 1 morning and 1 afternoon session at the fantastic Daytona International Speedway.
Jim has started climbing the point scale, after having a slow start. He did have a small off road excursion yesterday at the beautiful NOLA Motorsports Park, but the afternoon session was much better. Scott is fighting some clutch issues, seems like it is a C5 issue that is known to happen on hard racing. Overall, we are having a great time and enjoying the racing, weather and hospitality of the people running each track. I must say, those running the tracks and race have been some of the nicest and most organized I have seen. All of our races have gone off without a hitch and are run with a minimum of wasted raceway.
Leh Keen is by far the best driver I have watched from the racetrack sidelines and it is exciting and educational to watch him run the track. All I could say yesterday was "Wow, look at him take those corners".
Pictures will be mostly on Instagram under rstauffer43 if you are interested.
