Default Rolex 24 2014...who's going?

Have my flights booked, tickets ordered, hotel room booked and rental car reserved. Was last there in 2010 and had a great time. If you have never been you are missing out. I was in short sleeves most of the time in 2010 when there was snow/ice on the ground at home! It's not like a NASCAR race with 100k people. I would say more like 5k people. You can walk the garages and come right up to the doors and watch them work on the cars. 2014 will be awesome because of the merger between Grand Am and ALMS. Now Corvette Racing will be there. I am stoked!!!

I'll be there as well, Thursday-Sunday. Might also hit Cavallino for part of the weekend. Should be an excellent turnout and a very interesting race!!

Be there on the 17th for some vacation before working at the race.

SKMCOBRA there will be close to 100k people this year. Last year wasn't to far off that.

My dad and I are going down Friday through Monday. We haven't been down for the 24 since 2002 but with the new series and the return of Corvette Racing we decided to go back. We're staying in Ormond Beach, same place we've stayed for when we've got down for the 24 and 500 since the early 90s.

Seriously? There couldn't have been more than 5-10k people there in 2010. Of course we left Sunday morning so my only experience is from Thurs-Sat. This time we are flying into Orlando early Fri afternoon and hope to make the Continental race. Don't have the vacation days this year to come in on Thurs this time.
BTW, is this Todd? I bought a pair of slicks from you last spring. Shannon

Last year was by far the biggest crowd I have seen in ~10 years of events.
