... Hot, humid and horsepower.
Volunteered some time as crew for Tiger Racing and their new Speed World Challenge GT C5r 'vette.
Got to meet several of the competitors, John Young, Pobst, McClure, Farmer and others. Got to watch a one hour night practice of the ALMS cars Thursday nite. Awesome stuff. Glowing rotors and manifolds, blinding speeds, noise and great driving.

During our race Friday afternoon, it should be broadcast on Speed on March 29th, we shared pit space where the ALMS teams were already setup in preparation for Saturdays 12 hour race.

I've got a few photos HERE of the teams car, I'll have plenty more later from inside the competitors paddock. I still have to sort thru about 100 photos that I was able to take during our teams wait time.
