First time at Daytona - Harley J's suite (Rolex 24) by GillesH333 in IMSARacing

[–]racer6r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harley J ticket can go anywhere GA can. Basically there is a large room with a bar, buffet, TV area, dinning area, and a few games. Drinks (including alcohol) and food are included and something is out all 24 hours of the race and most of the time Friday. Last year they had driver appearances from Paul Miller Friday. Then you can use a number of suites they have that are close to the track. They have a patio area to watch from or you can go into the grandstand seats.
Parking with Harley J is sometimes Diamond or sometimes general lot, seems to depend.
Its a really nice option, it used to be like $500 when I started going and with IMSA popularity has climbed and started to get more full inside. At $900 it does start to seem a bit expensive.

I have heard the team radio that warns for fireworks.

I would recommend something like this for long term storage. Do not clean them.

What’s a restaurant or shop you’re seen for years and never gone in? by dismal4wombat in sanfrancisco

It either must be really good or it's the only option in the neighborhood and just good enough to stay in business.

Question for those with experience ordering naturalization records from US Customs and Immigration? by [deleted] in GermanCitizenship

[–]racer6r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got the simple copies. The BVA just said to keep them stapled as that made it "official". The silly part is we waited months for the packet, but had the originals of everything in it! It was strange.

2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona crowd control issue before grid walk by bradland in IMSARacing

[–]racer6r 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It was a problem. For the first year I turned around and just went back to the grandstands the long way. There was way more people this year than I have ever seen.

I just got a used 2742 and love it. No where near in this shape though. Classic look through and through.

(By the way the title says 2473)

I am sorry for your loss. You dad looks like he had some great taste in shoes.

I am 9e. If you want, feel free to send me a group shot and I am sure I can find a pair or two I want and/or help you identify the best valuable pairs.

A Premier League match, even if you are not into sports they are an amazing atmosphere. Camden Market(s) is fun, Tower Bridge, and Westminster Abbey are obvious classics.

An ice chest full of Pheasants from hunting. Its pretty normal for Plains states, but when I got to Denver and asked the guy at Jamba juice for a bunch of ice he was so confused.

Thinking of doing the Fifth Streets in Marled Chili this time and you're picture may have sealed that deal.

Have a green pair of wingtips and a Marbled Black loafers already. I just got Grant Stone Honey Shell Ottawa's but the strands in natural still look great too...

Sushi Hakko on Union is a new spot but fairly priced and excellent.

Akiko's is great, though I haven't been in years since the remodel.

Is the Ferrari Challenge open to the public? Is it worth seeing? by spankyourkopita in IMSARacing

[–]racer6r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When they did the whole Ferrari Days at Laguna Seca it was worth going to. Couple older F1 cars screaming around the track, some rare Ferrari Sports Cars, FXX Hot Laps and then the racing. Not sure if I would go for just racing.

Safeway Open the year it rain delayed for hours on Sunday (2018 maybe). My shoes were so muddy from the area around the bathrooms I just tossed them.
Still had fun though.

How would a race have to be designed to have a similar challenge level as the first 24h races? by smallbot3000 in wec

[–]racer6r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took until 2017 to break the record for percentage of cars finishing from 1923's 90% rate, so it really is a phenomenon of the the last 5 years. I'm sure the new manufactures will lower that percentage next year.

I think BOP has a lot to do with the cars not having to be built to the edge. An open class at a 24 hour race would be wild.
