| Staying at the Adam's Mark, Daytona Beach |
A place for the tired: Beach Bar at the Adam's Mark |
 |
 |
| Surprise: The president of the United States is staying at our hotel overnight. Anyone entering is being searched thoroughly... |
With the help of a drunken Hotel Manager we manage to have a look at the president's limousine ! |
 |
 |
| Proof: The seal of the president on the limousine |
The tough guys of the escort cavalcade getting ready for departure |
 |
 |
| Leaving in a rush - notice the empty road... |
Daytona - probably the only beach in the world where driving is permitted ! |
 |
 |
| Time to go to the race track - through a tunnel... |
The Konrad Motorsport Saleen S7R - Toni's sponsors already visible |
 |
 |
| The car is being readied - with the help of a little electronics |
Waiting for the car. The crew: Markus, Toni and Alex |
 |
 |
| Training going on for two days - and nights... |
Isn't this CSFB's storage provider ? Thought they were not sponsoring race cars ? |
 |
 |
| Even the toughest pit crew needs a break. Alex with our favourite girl: Lori |
While training is going on, Alex and Markus inevitably find the historic Vettes - a little tech chat |
 |
 |
| A race-trim Vette for sale ? Alex is heavily interested - we have to drag him away |
Finally, the race is about to start. The Saleen is ready |
 |
 |
| No race without girls. Notice Alex and Markus checking suspension details |
Fredy Lienhart's Lista - fastest in practice and at the end winning overall |
 |
 |
| Race starts ! |
Streaming into the first banking |
 |
 |
| The Saleen leading the pack |
Racing throughout the night |
 |
 |
| The most expensive cigarette-lighter in the world: the Jaguar |
Toni's Saleen still going strong |
 |
 |
| Finally - the checkered flag for Toni. Ending a honourable 3rd in class ! |
Celebrating, though a little tired |
 |
Definitely worth the effort, isn't it ? |
