There will be a trailer at the track that sells them along with all the vendors selling shirts, etc. They will help you get it all set up which is pretty easy with the new model radios. You will have a blast!

I do both.Luv watching the tack and driver in action.
A little delay on line...
Schedule,in car camara's and Broadcast Here:
https://sportscarchampionship.imsa.c...lex-24-daytona

A supplied commemorators list with the broadcast team.Some knowledge here.Hopefully the commercials don't kill the race.HA

A Earnhardt is involved with the commentating and his X Crew Chief.This will be interesting.

These long distance races are always exciting. Hope this years event is a great on.

OP thank for the Earnhardt video, damn I miss that guy.

Speaking of long distance races I have not seen anything from our friend with the DP and the hot Hubbell girls lately.

Thank you.

What is the NBC channel that shows the peacock and what looks to be a "play" button/icon?

The guy could really wheel a race car, I would love to have seen him at LeMans in a Corvette, great driver gone way too soon, I enjoyed watching him in that race.

Nice video of the Earnhardt's
I was lucky to meet Lance and see the C5 #3 that Dale drove at the Miller house in Pa. some years ago.

We are jacked up about going again. (7 yrs in a row) Although the Corral is always sold out, I scored the Grassroots Motorsports hospitality tent a few years ago and we’ve been parking there ever since. What a great place to enjoy the race.

Thanks for that, great video. A real car guy, somebody you could just hang out with and talk cars all day, like I've said before, gone way too soon. I have a lot of respect for a guy like Earnhardt, could make himself unapproachable but actually takes time to talk to us regular guys, and he's not just a driver, he knows what makes the car tick. I bought a 1/18 scale model of that GT1 Corvette C5R, it's pretty rare because most didn't have all 4 drivers names on the car, the one I have does. Rumor had it that he was planning on doing more races, including LeMans with Corvette Racing the following season, that would've been fun watching him driving something other than the NASCAR taxicab. Guys like that are few and far between these days, really talented drivers that are just good guys, not full of themselves, I'd include Ron Fellows in that category, I've met Ron several times, and he has some Dale Earnhardt stories of his own.
