HSR 24 Hour Daytona Event

333SP is probably my favorite sports racing car of all time. thanks for the pics!

who is the driver between Tullis and the Taylor boys?

 

The 333 sounded a little off. The guy in the white Camaro was hustling it through the trioval.

 

Thanks for the compliment but don't put your camera down!

We need more pics and I'm glad you made the effort. Different photographers means different perspectives. I like your added commentary as well.

If you were sitting on the hood of your car parked right at the exit of the little horseshoe just before dark on Saturday I was standing on the fence a few cars down. Your white shirt with all the lettering in black had caught my eye as I'm used to everything Ferrari in red

It is my favorite car to drive in Forza 5 and I love to drive it around the Nurburgring. I can only imagine what it would be like to actually drive it around the Daytona road course.

The red corvette dumped a bunch of oil on the front stretch and they put down a lot of speedy dry. At the start most of the cars tip toed through it but the Camaro blasted through and took an early lead and held it for awhile. The announcer seemed surprized that the other cars couldn't catch him. He was hustling it.

I just put up a page a pictures on my site. Most are the same I've posted here but added about twenty more if anyone wants to see them in a bit bigger size. I'm working on the video now but will take a few days to get something put together.

Inaugural Classic 24 Hours of Daytona

 

He lives in Georgia, I think, and last name is Rayhall. He is only 19.

 

Yeah Bill that was me on the hood of the car. Here I am just before dark. Wish I had know you were right there. Your camera skills are amazing.
Love the flame shot.

ahhhh....Sean Rayhall.

didn't recognize him

 

Some serious drivers there

Now I don't feel so bad about being "slow"

I think 1 of Mario's Grandkids was driving too

 

the reason it sounded so great was due to it running a judd v-10...to my knowledge.

 

I believe you are correct!

 

40 examples were produced, an incredible amount for any prototype racer, let alone a Ferrari. Some of these were directly bought by collectors and were not even raced. The first 14 cars were constructed by Dallara, the next 26 by Michelotto. Many of them were later modified by the owners with revised sides, noses and wings to suit their particular needs, usually with help from Michelotto. In the final seasons some chassis were fitted with Judd engines, mostly for cost reasons.
Found the above on ***************.
I did see several other cars with the Judd engine installed.

 

I thought the "Fudd" has been converted back to Ferrari power. Also, that was 025.

The Giesse-liveried Green/Blue/White, I think (pretty sure), is 022.

Wonder if this is the same car we saw last weekend. In a different Livery.

Not my photo. I is too good .

I thought just the one 333, though.

023 or 030, possibly.

Thanks so much for taking the time to get us all the pictures

 

That makes sense. But the last time I heard a 333 run was in the same spot, 17 years ago!

 

Sean Rayhall, the real thing!

Thanks for the kudos to 901 Shop. The team brought ten cars and nine finished. I had an absolute blast coaching our team past the Pat Long driven two-liter car!

The 333 SP has a Ferrari engine in it. The Pescarolo has a 5.5-liter Judd in it. The Giesse car was driven by Christian Pescatori, two-times second overall at LeMans 24 in an Audi R8 and LeMans European Champ in a 550 Maranello!



Thanks for the pics, Mr. Denton!

I thought the engine was sounding really great on the Wall. I really like the 901 shop.
Thanks for the photo.

Finally finished my video from the Classic 24 Hour weekend.

Switching between shooting stills and video doesn't allow me to get all the action
which further limits what I can edit with but at least it gives an idea as to what it was like.

A few shots from the Rolex 24 were used to help fill in a few spots and should be easily recognizable as such.

Thanks

I try to cover all the bases but splitting between pictures and video means I'm not able to give 100% to either but I give it a try because I think they complement each other in the overall goal of presenting the event.

I'm new to shooting video using a DSLR and it is much harder than using my video camera. Panning my 7D with a 400 telephoto around the International Horseshoe is really difficult. You not only have to pan to follow the car you have to twist the camera at the same time to keep the " horizon " level through the pan. I switched between a tripod and a monopod depending how far I had to carry and neither are rock solid. I used bungee cords to secure the monopod to the fence when possible and then helped a bit.

I failed to use the mic muff thinking the wind wasn't bad enough to warrant pulling it out and putting it on but now regret not putting in the effort. Also wish I could engage a few people to humanize the video a bit more and I really need to get my GoPro in a car somehow to add that great perspective.

I keep learning and hopefully will improve with more hands on experience. I'm already looking forward to the 2015 Rolex 24 and Sebring 12 Hours

 

great job stra8!!! really enjoyable to watch!!!!

 

Thanks

I hope they do it again next year and the entry list grows!

 

as is expected of any of your work product...you caught the sights and sounds perfectly. as of 12/8/2014...the best video on the web!!!

thanks again.

 

Sort of disappointing that there weren't more Ferraris on track.
