Default Rolex 24 dinner get-together Friday Jan 24th

Who is coming to Daytona for the Rolex 24 race???

For the last few years we've had about 20-25 forum members getting together Friday evening of the Rolex. We've been to Stonewood, Miller Ale House, and last year had a great time at BJ's Brewhouse.

The place we went to last year wasn't able to accommodate us, so I got us space at the Outback Restaurant.

The Outback is right off the northeast corner of the Speedway:




You can see that if you come out of the Turn 4 Tunnel, take a left on Midway Blvd for a very short distance and turn into the Outback parking lot.

If you come out via the Turn 1 Tunnel over on the west side of the Speedway, when you exit Gate 40 you can take a right on Williamson, right on ISB (Int'l Speedway Blvd), right onto Midway, and into the parking lot.

There's a huge amount of parking due to the restaurant that was just to the east of the Outback is closed, so their parking lot is available for parking.

Our reservation is for Friday evening Jan 24th at 7:00PM.

When you arrive at the Outback, tell them you're with "The Corvette Forum Party".*

So....if you'll be in town and want to meet up, let me know how many total in your party.


The head-count list:

BEZ06 - 3

Seadawg - 2

rfn026 - 1

BAMAGOLFER - 1

TNeReFFiDxMITCH - 2

Skol - 2

GT Racing Tires - 5

Scooter70 - 4

05C6GAC - 1

Wicked Weasel @ ECS - 2

Don O. - 4

Locke - 1

TimJBerry - 2

flcpl4fn - 2

Total - 32 and maybe a few walk-ins!!

Seadawg for 2 Bob. I'm picking up my Corvette Corral tickets today, so I'll see some of you there during that week too.

Oh, and I'm fine with wherever we go, I like all food, wine and beer!!

Hey Matt

A bunch of us will be going to the Conti Challenge, but it will be over early enough to make it to a restaurant across the street from the Speedway by 7:00.

Here's what the daily schedule for Friday events says:

1:45PM START - Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge DAYTONA
RISING 200 (2.5 hours)
So you should easily be able to get out of the track by 5:30.

My wife and I will be there from Tuesday thru Monday. Don't mark us down, but if we get a chance we will drop by. Probably going to bed early on Friday night, and no drinking , as we are planning on running the 5k before the Rolex on Saturday morning.

I may be able to attend, but most likely will have a work dinner to attend on Friday night at the track but not sure when it will start. I am a "maybe", sounds like a fun time!!

I got us a reservation for our party at the Outback Restaurant.

You can see on the map above that it's right on the northeast corner of the Speedway.

Reservation is for 7:00PM Friday Jan 24th.

When you arrive at the Outback, tell them you're with "The Corvette Forum Party".

C'ya at the track!!
