Rolex 24 @ Daytona
Nice one Andy Pilgrim, winner of the Daytona 24 hour.....and a sharp stick in the eye of GM Motorsports for firing him, and thus enabling him to be available to drive the winning car, again.

Re: Rolex 24 @ Daytona (63Corvette)
I'm new to this type of racing but did enjoy watching some of it this weekend. I just wish they ran it from 9PM until 6AM, much easier for me to stay up and watch several hours than watching it during the day with the wife around. Every ten minutes it was "Honey do this"... ugh.
So tell me, does the Corvette C5-R race in one of those leagues (DP, GT, SGS)? I'm just wondering and would like to get more info on this type of racing and I can't find a web site with info for newbs.
Thanks!

Re: Rolex 24 @ Daytona (93Polo)
Those Pontiac and Chevy prototypes that were using the LS6 engine, were they 5.7 liters like the racing Caddy CTS-V?
I don't think they were 7.0 liters like the C5-R...... :rolleyes:
