I've been to the Rolex three times.
It's fucking epic. My favorite memory is sitting up in the very top row of the main grandstand at 345am at the start finish straight, just watching all the cars go around and around.

It's so cheap. My plans fell apart for 2016, but I'd planned to do it. $200 return flight, $130/night for a hotel room and a cheap rental car. Rolex ticket is $50 for a Sat/Sun infield/all access pass. Fly down Friday night, fly home around 8pm on Sunday from Orlando.Apex wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2017 11:08 pmYaaassssfledonfoot wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2017 11:03 pm I've been to the Rolex three times.

I'd consider going if I knew enough other people going. Daytona is only like 10 hrs from here. I don't really give a damn about watching racing but hanging out with racers is fun.

Even if you go with just one other person, it's a big party in the infield and you'll find plenty to do and people to hang with.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2017 11:32 pm I'd consider going if I knew enough other people going.

In the prototype class with a couple minutes to go, second place car made an agressive move on the brakes going into turn 1 and got a fender on the inside. 1st place car came down on him and spun out.
It was aggressive, but not dirty IMO, especially when considering the time left in the race. The 1st place car left the door open for the 2nd place car to take the chance.
