24 Hours Of Daytona is on...

For those interested. On Speed Channel of course.

Is there any big name drivers from other series competing?

[Titan]

Shit, I forgot. I\'ve been so big on Columbia. I\'ll just have to watch the highlights later.

what do you mean by "big names"? In what series? There are alot of big name drivers..its an endurance race for petes sake.

Derrik Cope?  lol

I dont really have a favorite of that bunch but I\'ll pull for Boris Said and his team

[videoholic]

We use to go to that every year.  There is some major drinking going on in the infield of that race....

One time when we were kids we drove my car around stealing coolers.  We stole gosh, it must have been 6 or 7 of them.  One we stole it right off the hood of a car where the dude was sleeping right there on the hood next to it.  It was funny.

We were stealing the coolers for beer, but we didn\'t get crap.  We got a bottle of relish, a can of grape soda, and a lot of empty coolers.  Pretty funny.

damn thieves...

I hope Speed Channel does 24 hours coverage of Lemans. Last year, they only broadcasted like three hours. I was disappointed. One year, I\'m gonna pull the full 24 hours.

[videoholic]

Heh, I remember one time we actually moved a guy\'s arm off of his cooler so we could steal it.  My car was so full.  Damn those were the days.

[Titan]

All that work and little beer

I liked it better as Speedvision. The coverage of races was a hell of a lot better.
