rolex 24...
I am a life-long motorsports fan. From my earliest years listening to the Indianapolis 500 on my transistor radio, to watching racing on my 48" flat screen today. I enjoy racing. The noise, the speed, the danger. Next week in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, then Sebring, then the 24 Hours of Le Mans. NASCAR, Indycar, Formula 1. I'm ready. To paraphrase ole DW: "Let's go racin', everybody!!" Jan 17 15 10:01 am Link And the international motor racing season started last week with the Dubai 24 Hours. http://www.24hseries.com/24h-dubai Jan 17 15 05:24 pm Link How did I miss that? Not broadcast on American TV I guess... I guess I was watching the Formula E race from Buenos Aires last week. So cool. All electric, open wheel cars. Like Formula 1 but without the noise. Jan 17 15 06:21 pm Link the Dakar just ended in Bolivia or Peru by the way.

We're all pretty excited for him.  http://www.derekdeboerracing.com/ Jan 18 15 11:28 am Link The 24 Hours of Le Mans should be exciting again this year, maybe more so than last year. Toyota are only racing two cars this time, but they were very fast last year. They didn't have the endurance, but Audi managed to win only by a fairly thin margin. Porsche might be back in stride again... We'll see. The Audi team are only a few wins away from equaling the Porsche wins record, and they want fiercely to surpass it. LM24 2015 will be a good one to watch.

Jan 18 15 12:06 pm Link Yup, it's been almost 6 weeks since I've been at a race, I'm Jonesing for a fix. Go Team Seattle!! Jan 18 15 12:35 pm Link So far teh racing is pretty good. The delta wing Nissan coupe is fast, a real surprise. Jan 24 15 01:07 pm Link Jan 24 15 01:57 pm Link Frank Lewis Photography wrote: did not last terribly long though. Jan 24 15 02:33 pm Link All-in-all, a pretty good race. Lots of speed and passing, a couple of scary moments but overall a good race. Now let's get ready to go fast and turn left...
