Every year I take the 356 down to catch the 24hr race. This year there are a few members of the Florida Owners Group who will be taking there 356's also. We are planning to camp again in the infield & usually are close to the PCA corral. One thing not to miss is the Saturday 11am Rolex 24 Heritage Exhibition laps. Several vintage Porsche's do parade laps around the track before the start of the 24hr. I hope to see you & your 356's there as well.

Here is a pic from our campsite last year:

Or get the milestone ticket & get to drive your bus on the track:

just received an email from my local PCA region regarding another ticket option. For a few extra dollars you get to eat lunch with Brian Redman on Friday, two parade laps in your Porsche Saturday morning & special seating at turn 1 on the road course for the race. See below for details:

MILESTONES ’09 - AT THE ROLEX 24 HOURS

AN INVITATION TO SPORTS CAR OWNERS AND CLUB MEMBERS

Friday, January 23, 2009

Milestones is your opportunity to participate in the legendary Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. Created for the sports car racing fan, Milestones offers a look at the history of the sport, lunch and a visit with Grand Marshal Brian Redman, winner of the ’81 Rolex 24 and one of the true heroes of the sport. You will have an opportunity to see some famous race cars up close, tour the racing garages and enjoy reserved seating for the race at turn one. To complete your Milestones participation, a truly special Daytona experience; two parade laps of the 3.76 mile road course on Saturday morning.

Cost for the three day Rolex 24 Hours event, including Milestones, is $185. Each member will receive a welcome bag containing a Rolex event hat and pin, plus a race program and poster. Milestones will be located in the Daytona 500 Club. A light breakfast will be served Friday at 8:30 am , then a tour of the garages at 10 am , with lunch starting at noon . Lunch will be followed at 1 pm by a talk with Brian Redman, conducted by well known vintage racer, Murray Smith.

To determine how to order your Rolex 24/Milestones tickets, we suggest you contact RT Hall at [email protected]. Or you can speak with RT directly at 229 563 8824. He will be glad to direct you and answer any questions you may have. I just talked to him. RT said to call 1800pitshop to get the milestone tickets. He expects the 200+ tickets to sell out by Jan. 1.

We advise you to place your orders promptly as we do have a limited capacity. We look forward to welcoming you to Milestones. You’ll meet some interesting people, have some laughs and share in a unique motorsports experience.

Hey Mark,

Did you see my Dad or Mr. Meigs down there today? I was thinking of making a weekend trip to see the race. I am a little up in the air about it.

Hey Mark,

Be sure to bring some furniture so you can get Speed to film you guys. Also, post up where you are in the infield so I can spot your set up on TV.

Scott,
Were usually just west of the Ferris Wheel & the PCA Porsche coral. I expect to have my '58 single cab & 356 there. I will be flying one of my pirate flags above the campsite. The flag may be the easiest thing to spot.

Mark
