Well, that was a fun race. I'm not sure I care for that new wave-around rule, it makes it to easy for cars to get their laps back, and because of that, there was some rough driving, but it did make for a good finish.

Yeah, good race. My first experience of watching the 24 live and I enjoyed it immensely. And on a Brit centric note; the boys done good!
All other opinions are wrong....

It wasn't a bad race, but the finish is the same old, same old....Ganassi's prep of these cars is just above everyone elses, and they just get more out of that Riley chassis.

And the Riley seems to be the better chassis, too. At least @ Daytona.
Plasma tv's are okay, but I'm holding out for whole blood. :vampire:

I've been to a couple AMA Superbike races there in the past, so I kind of know my way around the paddock area -- which is where I'd spend as much time as possible. Plus I like to go to drag races and have lots of practice finding something to do while they stop the race to clean up a mess on the track -- lol.
On the other hand, the Sebring 12-hour & Petit Le Mans @ Road Atlanta are on my "bucket list," too.Plasma tv's are okay, but I'm holding out for whole blood. :vampire:

The Rolex may have been the best all-star event of the weekend. Indy 500 and Daytona 500 champions on one team, the 5-time Sprint Cup champion racing, the play-by-play man for the Beeb's F1 coverage, just can't say enough of how the organisation finds the best drivers to race. And if that's not enough, race fans can run (on foot) the course early on Saturday morning and earn a race ticket by crossing the finish line.

Excellent points, Bobby -- and all reasons that the race is on my bucket list.
