Daytona Classic 24
Worked for Phil Reilly and Co this past week/weekend at the Daytona Classic 24. It was run similarly to the LeMans Classic; your car gets grouped based upon era and they rotate thru the era's every hour. So we ran four one hour long sessions over the course of 24 hours. VERY cool event; they are planning to put it on every other year. Something very cool about seeing your old car roll thru the tri-oval at 165 mph under the lights at 1 in the morning...
The B16 I was working on was the one owned by Solar Productions originally. It was the B16 seen in the movie LeMans. It ran the LeMans 24 in 1970 and Daytona and Sebring in 1971. It's still fairly original as well. FT200, donut half shafts and a screaming Cosworth FVC.
