Daytona Speedway part 1

Stopped and toured Daytona Speedway.  They were practicing for the Rolex 24 hour race so I din't get to do any driving.  Hopefully I'll be able to do it while I'm still down here.


 Race car cut away



 They are adding to the stands on one side of the track.  When completed it will be a mile long and hold over 100,000 people.


 View from one of the corporate boxes.





 Flat track outside of the main speedway.
 Tunnel under the track



 Looking at the boxes I was in earlier.


 The Fanzone


 Garages
 Inspection garage

 Victory Lane

 Rolex 24 hour trophy.
 The pits

 Cool way to move your tool box.


 Tried to get a picture of the delta wing car: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1082691_deltawing-race-car-gets-new-high-visibility-livery  or  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeltaWing  will show you what I was trying to get.  Pretty neat to see.  More pictures in part 2, but none turned out great.  Something about a car moving at 150 mph makes a fuzzy picture!
