For the third year in a row The Community Garage hosted another group to witness the greatest race in North America, the iconic Rolex 24Hrs of Daytona!

On the front straight banking of Daytona International Speedway

The Rolex never disappoints. Come for the race, stay for the community, and stay up as looooong as you can!

Of course, the cars were once again magnificent! Riley Motorsports brought their Mustang with a tribute livery inspired by Bud Moore's vintage Trans Am Mustangs - just like our own Spec Iron Mustang.

The Heart of Racing brought out multiple cars to compete in different classes, but the star of their show was easily their mighty Aston Martin Valkyrie!

"If this were a beauty contest, everyone else already lost..."

IMSA knows race fans like to see the action from the bird's eye view as well as getting close to the action. Nothing is closer than the tradition of signing the start/finish line!

"My name is Jason...remember that...I'll be back working this event one day"

"Hey Yo! I can't believe I'm at Daytona!"

"If a Ford doesn't win, I'm going to fix that next year."

Of course, we love to camp at the track too. This year the weather was beautiful. While most of the country was locked in deep freeze, we enjoyed warm breezy days and gentle cool nights.

This year we had a very special treat on hand for the kids. They got a private meet-n-greet with John Doonan, the president of IMSA! In case you don't know, IMSA is the premier North American sports car sanctioning body. They organize the race...they put together this whole party.

John Doonan is one super-busy guy. So we are deeply thankful and honored that he took time out of the single-most hectic weekend of his year (literally) to spend some of it with our kids and answer their questions.

Hanging with John Doonan in his track-side office!

We are already looking forward to next year! Come on out and join us - it's going to be bigger than ever...
