Great to read your account, and great to see that you’re enjoying road racing again!

yeah the daytona staff didnt know where registration was they sent me in, and out, and back in, and back outfield several times. they got to know my Turquoise Astrovan after a few hours. also we got there at 7:30 pm and couldnt get into the track on wednesday night which sucked. Then we were directed to a different gate and the guy thankfully understood and let us camp in the parking lot. only track ive ever been to that wasnt open till the wee hours of the morning. well they were open but wouldnt let us in lol. it was a fun event but i wasn;’t impressed by the staff at all, only one guy actually knew what was going on. I kept saying I was road racing and they kept saying ‘oh the track is by nascar turn 3’ im like…

Well next time I go ill know to not take 95 south and sit in traffic for 8 hours. I think i saw your kart I was camped way up in lake loyd and remember the ‘bumble’ bee paintjob. I had a blast!

I had a similar experience. Once I found the proper gate to enter and got my pit pass I was escorted to the pits where they would not let me in. Was then sent to the sprint track where they took me back to the main pits.  Was complicated because I use a large motor home with all my gear loaded (including kart) underneath, no trailer. This of course made it difficult to get to where I could unload. I can say that after we got entry taken care of the staff could not have been more helpful in getting the rig positioned. Fortunately my pit was the second one through the gate so it was relatively painless. As I said I am looking forward to heading to Savanna.
