Rolex 24 at Daytona 2012

I wasn't there but I was watching most of the weekend. Great race and it was a great weekend overall for Ford. AJ Allmendinger was on fire for the last

AJ Allmendinger was on fire for the last 4 hours of the race.

Of course Porsche dominated the GT class, they made up a large percentage of the field. I really wish Grand-Am would limit the number of cars a single team can bring to a race. (and yes that was aimed at TRG and their 5 Porsche line-up )

It also doesn't help that Porsche is just flat awesome when it comes to their GT program!

The new 458s did pretty well (and looked amazing).

I had a blast watching McNish and Allmendinger go at it. When AJ tried to go around the outside of McNish in turn 1 he wasn't having any of it and ran him off track. Then he got upset off 2 and body slammed him to no avail. This is going to be a good year for The Dinger, methinks!
