Default Daytona Prototype!

Last month, my good friend Bill Hubbell asked me to co-drive his beautiful DP at the FARA race in Homestead. We had a great weekend, and I loved driving that car...so much so that I had to get one myself!

Introducing my 2013 Corvette Coyote Daytona Prototype. Incredibly, it is chassis number 4, and competed as race number 4 - the same number I have been racing with since the late 80's when I met Bill. And it is orange, my favorite color. Amazing!

The car was delivered to me this past Thursday, and I'm so excited I can hardly sleep! First time on the track will be at Watkins Glen in June, then on to Daytona October 2-3.

A huge THANK YOU to Bill for asking me to drive with him, and for introducing me to these fantastic cars!

I can't imagine what it's like to drive a Daytona Prototype on the track. Congratulation! Great pictures, looks fast just sitting there.

Stunning car! Congratulations!

I would likely make a stain from excitement given a chance to drive a DP car. Please post up in-car videos (no music ), when you have them.
