Lunch at the Ocean Deck on the A1A on Daytona Beach. Supposed to be the most famous place to go on the beach...so, we did. Great views...lots of birds...and Jean wasn't too wild about walking the beach because the seaweed smelled too fishy. Sorry....
On to the Daytona Speedway. Had a great tour. There were drivers from Italy that were "practicing"...so we got a pretty full effect of the speed and the sound of the race. Lots of "Italian" Lamborghinis.
. We had a video, and sound track of the Italian cars racing....but can't seem to get it working on the blog. Sorry. It was really cool. Maybe Ron will put it out on facebook. We saw several famous cars. But, the best was #21 - the winner of the 2011 Dayton 500. Driver: Trevor Bayne...he was only 19 years old when he qualified for this race...and 20 years old when he won it. Pretty amazing. The winning car is kept by the track for one year...until 3 days before the next race. Then is returned to the owner.
