Rolex 24 at Daytona

[Dave Hogg <springwood@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's nice to know the TV schedule on ESPN2, but it's nicer to be there! 
3 of us are leaving BWI Thurs 1/28 6pm, returning sun night.  I'm
looking for a 4th, 5th or 6th.

Lots of great reasons to go this year:
- -  NASCAR 1991 Daytona 500 champ Ernie Irvan is driving.  What team, you
ask?  How about the PTG GT3 M3 team with Boris, Mark and Brian?  Yup.
- -  2 new Corvettes in GT2 to duke it out with the Vipers and, oh yes,
still Porsche turbos (don't think we'll see any GT2 M3's this year).
- -  BMW-M-V8-powered WSC car won Sebring a few weeks ago.  Will it take
the Rolex also?  Hmm...  Nice to see that not all winners are red.
- -  They'll be using the lights this year (hopefully not the 100% NASCAR
setup).  Didier Tethys & Jim Downing have tested the lights at 20% &
liked it.  Would be ideal for spectators IMHO -- not just headlights &
sound but still night racing.
- -  4-day infield, grandstand, paddock & garage ticket only $70.

We're staying at the newly-remodeled Quality Inn on the beach.  If
there's interest (e-mail me privately), I'll try to arrange some killer
BMW CCA discounts.  Would be cool to have mainly BMW CCA crowd there. 
NO disclaimer here -- as part owner they'll listen to me.  (Sorry for
the blatant commercialism, but I think I can help save you $$.)

Looking forward to seeing the roundel take both overall and GT3!
