Been watching the Daytona Rolex 24 running just up the road on cable all evening. Took the dog out for his after diner walk and could hear the engines off to the north, in the distance but clear in the cool air. It's a beautiful song in the night. Brought back a different life I led years ago, Watkins Glenn, Pocono, the Trenton Dog Leg, chasing dirt track racing, sleeping in the car or camping in the infield, hotdogs and beer. To the south New Smyrna Speedway is running, a 1/2 mile asphalt bowl. The rise and fall of the pack running a short track sounds like a animal growling back at IMSA cars at Daytona Speedway.
 God I love it! it makes my blood pump with goose bumps and always had since I climbed a tree outside the third turn at the Langhorn mile back in the sixties. Just had to throw this out, not many would understand.
 Back to the race
 

Bob Tullius is Grand Marshal at Sebring this year:http://www.svra.com/about-us/

The SVRA event at Indy each year is fabulous. A dozen Offy roadsters in full song is something to hear, let alone see, especially for guys hooked on nostalgia like me!

as an Air Force brat, I know those sounds well, but never having served, they're comforting to me
I'm not surprised they might speed the ticker up in folks who've been in theater though

I'm like that, I can sleep with Iron Maiden playing in the room, (so long as it's not blasting) but touch the doorknob and I'm instantly awake unless I recognized your tread on the floor outside (those treading inside have been 'cleared by security'  

I used to love it when Dad took me to watch night scrambles, those F4s taking off full tilt boogie were a site to see when the afterburners kicked in

I live near enough to Texas Motor Speedway to hear the racers.

Don't you mean 'little cars'? midget is not PC, and may be illegal in cali
