Meet Us at the Rolex 24

The Rolex 24 will be roaring around Daytona International Speedway this weekend. We’ll be hosting our annual Grassroots Motorsports Experience once again on the banks of Lake Lloyd from Thursday through Sunday.

Everyone’s invited to join us. Don’t worry, you don’t need one of our special tickets to hang out in our tent; we just can’t offer you dinner on Saturday evening or a space in our car corral. Take a load off, enjoy the race broadcast on television, and maybe some bench racing with like-minded folk. Just look for our big white circus tent near the west end of Lake Lloyd.

Bonus: Get to our tent at about 9 a.m. every morning to enjoy some Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee.

If you have a parking pass for our car corral at the Grassroots Motorsports Experience, remember that Mazdas will once again be given prime parking at the front.

We need to thank our partners, too, who helped make this happen: Mazda, Continental, Intercomp, Spec Clutch, Flyin’ Miata, BBS, IMSA, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Perry’s Ocean-Edge Resort..

Yes it is! And for those who can't make it to the event (or those stuck in the back), we're planning on broadcasting the tour on Facebook Live!

I'll have to set my alarm. That was a good time.

I'll be leaving tomorrow evening after work to start my trip there (trying to get just in Florida for the nights stay) and should arrive Wednesday evening. See yall Thursday morning hopefully. If you see an FR-S (asphalt color) in the infield parking with Texas rear plate and GRM sticker on the rear window below the third brake light, then you know whose it is....

You'll need to log in to post.
