2026 Rolex 24 Daytona

I’m not saying it means anything but the Pratt Miller Corvettes are the only cars consistently sparking on the transition from the oval to the infield in turn 1. I’ve seen it a few times on the customer Corvettes but not nearly as often.

It ran for 12 and 10 hours last year without mechanical issue. The problems Saturday started before the 6 hour mark.

I'm up just in time for the 6am recap. It's much shorter than usual...
 
I am not an AOS conspiracy nut. I wouldn't lie to you or be *condescending to anyone, but:

The Daytona oval is simply too large of a perimeter to make an antifog vortex work. It becomes even more impossible when you add in the infield Road Course Chicanery.

The corporate world will never be able to sell stage breaks to the road course nerds. The fog is the manufactured AOS (Anti Organic Solution), it is the dope they have made to addict a new set of junkies from the previously unattainable crowd.

That is why there will never be any cover-blowing Kool-Aid commercials from a crowd that is shameless enough sell any other form of snake oil.

But it's not so bad; the high minded nerds still think they are the winning sophisticates; all while enjoying another shot of the AO$...

I am just thankful that the people that are running the races would never do anything like that to us.

Respectfully, the size of the oval and shape of the infield are irrelevant. The vortex IS working, and as expected by anyone who understands ALL the key differences at Daytona. What's being overlooked is the massive infield lake, a feature not found at any other track. Instead of driving off overhead humidity like other tracks, the vortex generated by the circulating cars is pulling moisture off the lake and spreading it over the circuit. Running under yellow is slow enough to not pull any more water but not fast enough to disperse what's already there.

The commercials during this race have taught me there are several new health problems and drugs to fix them that I had not heard of before. Sheeesh!

I like the warning for the prostate cancer drug, that you shouldn't take if if you were pregnant or expecting to be.

The side effects to many of those commercials scream NO way! just let me die.
