Great end of race for Daytona. Lots of drama and good racing.

All Vipers entered finished, not so for the Vettes. Got one podium finish, and lots of good action.

Great showing by Vipers, going up against the best in the world. They finished better than many of the high dollar prototypes, and got pretty good coverage during the race.

Was especially proud of the support teams that fixed any problems that showed up over the 24 hours of racing. Quick pit stops and great mechanics in the garage all work together with fast cars and heroic drivers to produce a competitive effort.

Am a bit jealous of all the VCA guys that got to see this event up close and personal. Hope to get a chance to share their experiences trackside when they get back home.

Good show SRT…Good Show.

If you guys link directly here we have some great shots on the opening page that came from key SRT personnel themselves, so they are awesome shots.

We just got back from Daytona spending four days there and got over 2 hours of awesome HD video plus talks with all the SRT drivers before and after the awesome event. Getting a podium finish and beating the Vettes this time was really cool. The SRT VIP area was well done but not many attended that we saw anyway. Had a great informative chat with Ralph. The Vipers were really fast and mostly reliable. Cant wait for the 2015 event. 24 hours is so much more fun than the shorter races.

What exactly caused the cars to drop out of contention for the win? I checked at ten hours and they were fine, then an hour later four laps down. Bad luck in pits? Rain? or mechanical?
