Well...this forum area has to start somewhere, so let me kick it off....I went to the first DP race for the Series, Daytona back in 2003 and you have to give them credit, although the numbers have leveled off, they have grown the car count....2008 should be interesting for them.

I was fortunate enough to be the photographer for a couple teams (Spirit of Daytona, VICI Racing and Forest Barber at some races, and a few GT teams) from the start, but the cost of covering them and the ALMS was just a little to rich for my blood (and wallet).

I hear they may be racing more and more with NASCAR (Saturday races) so we will see how that goes...I know I am going to pass on Daytona in 08, even though I do have a team asking me to shoot for them again, and although I will miss my room mates of JT and Jimmy, won't miss the constrant drone of the V-8s at 3am in the morning!

Who else follows this series?
