Default Laps On Daytona

Tomorrow the Jacksonville corvette club is getting to do some laps at the track. I'm praying it doesn't rain until late in the afternoon.

What a great Day!!!!! 150 MPH at Daytona track today. I'm having a tough time getting the grin off my face. My wife was riding shotgun, she was not happy at 150 plus. All I heard was slow this damn car down, she got over it and we had a good laugh after it was over. We had 14 vettes on the track, they wouldn't let us take the banks but a few guys accidentally drifted up into a few If you ever get a chance this is a must do. I'll post some pixs tomorrow.

Had the opportunity to drive laps at Daytona a few years ago. Super great time. They had the turns block with emergency vehicles. Sandbagged one straight away and got a 100MPH run.
