It's always amusing to tow to Daytona and see what Florida has to offer. As a mostly outsider, I'd say:
1. Friendly, really cool bunch of racers. LOTS of IT cars. Daytona is awesome.
2. The fast guys in the classes I race with -- R/S/A/7 -- all seem legit and legal with some exceptions.
3. The cheats on one or two fast cars I saw were all aero related: shaved door handles, no wipers, stuff like that. Annoying stuff.
4. Then there is just some flat out blatant "I obviously didn't read the rules or obviously don't care about them" crap. The orange ITR 911 with the Lexan rear window with holes drilled in it. Last year, the ITS E36 Bmw (that was dog slow) with an unpainted carbon fiber trunk lid. And so on.
There definitely is a Mad Max mentality to what goes on down there, and some "run whtat you brung" stuff, but again, the fast S cars all looked and seemed legit to me. Racing was great, Sunday race with Marc Daa, Bill Quinn and Tim Jenurm was awesome.
Plus, 22 S cars!
