OH this has me ready to go! I'm en route 5:30 a.m. sharp. Will try to get some good photos and vids. The goal is to get close enough to lose some hearing courtesy of the Prototypes and C7R

though I'll like to see the ESM Hondas and the Oak Racing Nissan compete better, the LeMans prototypes are just outmatched by the Daytona Prototypes, they should really fix this.

PC:
1. Core Racing
2. Starworks
3. RSR #38 car

GTLM:
1. Corvette #3
2. RLL #55
3. Porsche #911

GTD:
1. Flying Lizard #45
2. Team Seattle/AJR #23
3. Turner
4. AIM #555

Not impressive at all in GTLM, especially how the Ferraris are shown to be underpowered, for some reason, they are just not competitive.
In regard to the Prototypes, I pretty much agree with you 100%. Not sure about the Porsche prediction for P3 though lol...but we'll see. I know Porsche NA is getting stronger as the season progresses but I think it'll be a Chevy and BMW pole.
I hope Dane Cameron take Turner to P1. They are super strong this year. Even with weight added due to BoP regs, they still managed to finish on pole. (if I'm remembering correctly).
I like AIM but, as you said, Ferrari is not as competitive as they should be. I'm predicting AIM's 458 will be no better than 5th.

Viper Exchange, Vette, Ax Racing, Barbara Racing, Cumming, etc all dominated today.
Congrats to the class winners and pole finishers

AIM car is GTD. GTD Ferraris are competitive, as the class is more restricted.
I'm talking about GTLM Ferraris, Risi and Krohn

Toured the whole facility and different views during the Continental race, then landed here for the majority of the United. One of the best race views imaginable. Had a blast.
