Great job guys. Even without factory support you guys are dominating GTD. Thanks to all of you for keeping our Vipers represented. Only 6 hour in and the commentators and drivers are stating that the Viper is going to be strong this year.

You're making us all proud.

At the track for the weekend of racing. Both Vipers look good in the GTD class, Vettes look very strong in the GTLM class. If there are no endurance issues, they look like the cars to beat. I had the chance to speak with Dick Winkles who is here advising the T1 Automotive team - nice to see Chrysler making him available.

Not sure how many of you have ever seen Daytona but the remodeling of the grandstands is going to be very impressive. Great venue for this race. There are plenty of seats where you can see the entire track. I'd highly recommend the event for anyone considering seeing a race someday.

The Vipers are looking strong.

Vipers are now running 1-2. Winkles is one of those guys who prob volunteers his time and would be hard to keep away. Same with Ralph. Those guys have gear oil for blood.

Shame the 33 (Ben's car) leader had a problem, but the 93 took over leadership duties.

Still a shame that factory backing is gone. It would be great to own both GTLM and GTD.

What if.....We would want a car in GTLM....Must be close to 1million for a GTLM if a GT3 Viper is 1/2 million.
We could start one of those fund campaigns, if enough is collected to build a GTLM it is done if not return
everyones funds....Only take 10,000 donations of $ 100.00. You would receive a special plaque, Banner,
and Book...What do you think ?

Unfortunately this car is the least expensive piece of the puzzle. The support staff the trucks the tires track entry transportation costs everything else costs all the money.

The times that i watched i saw the Viper all the time. Race Broadcast spoke of them also quite a bit.
GTD was the biggest class and with Porsche / Viper fighting for positions....It was Great.

We were there for 4 days in the infield and the weather was near perfect this time. Huge crowd this year and not too many long yellow cautions. Nice to have a sponsor like TI and Farnbacher really showed his stuff on a long last stint to take the win for GTD. Corvette won GTLM but it was close with a torn up BMW right behind. We celebrated all the winners as they rolled off the track and the Porsche team especially, second in GTD, was very gracious to fans around their car. Counting the days to the 2016 race........
