Ho Lee Fuk, a Jardiance dancing fat people commercial during the break.
It was the new dancing gal, not the short-round gal.

I just got that stupid song out of my head and you put it back in. “…it’s the little pill with the big story to tell!”

Now it’s in your head. I wonder if the real fat dude that can’t see his copier is unplugged is on jardiance.

Seems like WEC is going to luck out on the weather and no drivers will die from heat stroke.

Yeah I posted the same thing on another board. Amazing swing since 111 degrees not long ago.

ferrari locks out the front row, factory 51 followed by the "privateer" yellow 83, cadillac in third with the 35 alpine taking its best qualy yet in 4th.

A friend who couldn't go today gave my kid and I tickets, so it was cool to see Ferrari get the F1/WEC wins today. And it sucked to be able to see less than half of the track. Wasn't, too, too hot, so we had that goin' for us.

WTF was going on with those 2 hypercars banging down the back straight, and which drivers were involved? I assumed there would be a penalty since the inside car pushed the outside car almost into the armco. Was there?

Hyundai building an LMDh car under the Genesis brand. Only a WEC entry confirmed so far

  Quote

Confirmation of the program came via a brief statement issued by the WEC on Thursday morning, which stated that Genesis will enter the series in the “near future” pending approval by the championship’s selection committee.

Hnnngh. Ready.

Here are some of the pics my 21 yo shot last year when we went to Daytona. He's getting pretty good. Building a website. He's dying to go again this year.

Kid is headed out early tomorrow. Staying in Tallahassee tomorrow night. Then on to Daytona in the a.m. Saturday. Sleeping in his car near the track at some point Saturday night. Got a new camera and some gear. Should be interesting to see what kind of results he gets this time compared to last year. I'ma watch this one on the teevee. Maybe next year.

Yeah it's a lot of fun. Just go prepared ... good walking shoes as always, and if you can secure a spot, an RV or even just a pickup or van in the infield would be awesome. I got my eye on the Home2Suites across the road, maybe for next year if I can get a res.

He just sent a selfie of himself with photographer Jamey Price, from just before the race. He idolizes Jamey, and you can probably see a little bit of that in his photos. He must be on cloud nine right now.

Here's his website url, in case any of you are interested. It's still a little bit limited, as he's just getting it up and running. Expect a whole lot more content after this race and throughout the season. Now that he's done his first big road trip on his own, he's gonna want to go to every race he can.

Corvette 4 got a whiff of the lead briefly.  Nighttime could be the right for the Chevrolets or the strategy might be coming in.

FYI.  Didn't get all the details, but Instacart is offering some kind of free trial.

dirty pool by the bmw GTD team, with a car 55 laps down coming to as much of a stop as anyone ever has in the international horseshoe to block the corvette and try to allow the 2nd place bmw by the leading vette. vette moves outside and tags the 2nd place bmw. vette's rear bumper is hanging off.

Yep.  Too bad Milner lost his composure and beat the car up.  However, it was funny when he went the 48 and flipped him off.  Corvette had finally managed to get to the top and have a chance at a win.
