My fifteenth Rolex 24, our son’s thirteenth. Too bad with the rain. They continue to improve the venue. Hopefully the C8 will be there next year.

Eh, to be fair I don't know where I can find a Caddy like the Wayne Taylor or Whelen cars, or an Acura like Penske had. I can enjoy them all for what they are.

Not to mention, if NASCAR went back to stock cars, they'd be putting out more power than the Cup cars are going to be this year anyhow :P

We had a blast yet again this year. Spent about 13 hrs at the track on Saturday. Glad we did, because after after battling the cold (for Florida) and wind, we decided adding rain to that on Sunday was not desirable.

On another note, I think NBCSN does a much better job with its broadcast production than Fox. The information they provided was better and I liked the graphics on-screen that made it easier to follow who the leaders where in each class - at a glance.

Absolutely. NBCSN is quickly setting the bar for motorsports coverage. ESPN's F1 coverage is excellent also, but only because they're smart enough to shut up and let Sky Sports drive the car (so to speak). Fox's NASCAR coverage is outstanding, but they have problems transitioning to other venues. NHRA is, well, NHRA.

Have a good one,
Mike
