Waiting in for alternate-side-of-the-street parking in the busy city got kinda boring and cold, so we decided to road trip to Florida for the 24h of Daytona endurance race... and found more cold rainy weather. Plus, speedy cars!

The day started with some hot laps from the handsome folks at the BMW Performance Center. The M3s are more than capable for this track... you can bank on that.

The new Ford GT continued it's winningest reputation by starting the first lap in first place. 'Murica!

The Mazda RT24-P had quite a lot of zoom-zoom from it's little 4 cylinder.

The sudden rain meant a switch to full wets for this Turner Motorsport BMW M6.

No pedestrians were harmed in the making of this race.

Night falls at the Daytona International Speedway.

The newly mid-engined 911 RSR was a real force to be reckoned with on track. Plus, that glorious flat-6 wail...

And here we spot the automotive photographers in their natural habitat. They aren't easily startled by bright flashes or loud noises, but can be territorial.

Bonus duck tails (woo-ooo).
