Default Daytona 500

Anyone going to the Daytona 500 next weekend? I just found out last night that my WONDERFUL wife got tickets to both the Saturday race with pit passes and the 500 on next Sunday. Just wondering if anyone is going. We also neeed a hotel to stay at, I been looking all day and everything is booked up in Daytona and in Orlando.
It seems like I was just at the Daytona Speedaway.... OH yeah, I was there 2 weeks ago. :D

You're a lucky man to have such a thoughtful, generous wife. I hope you have a ball at the 500.

I was there for the CF Winter Jam a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't that a blast!!!

:D :D :D Indeed a lucky man!

Watching the 500 will take on new significance this year after having driven around the track at the winter jam last month

We drove our cars, did two parade laps. Very low speed except on the front straight when Vic and I dropped way.............way back :D

There were over two hundred of us on the track at the time and they wouldn't let us on the banks...but it was still awesome!

Mike, Vic, Gary and I did it. I'll e mail you pic of Mike, me and Vic right now
