Countdown to the Rolex 24 at Daytona

brave1heart · 01-28-2012, 09:34 AM

One of the best parts about the Rolex 24 is easy access to the garage and even pits during practice. You run into many famous drivers and get to talk to them if you catch them at a good time.

The one and only Sir Jackie Stewart: hard as he tries to move up the list,
he is only Scotland's third-best export after scotch whiskey and golf.
Easily the only one who could get away with walking in the pits with
this tartan getup, though. I bet it's fireproof too! Wonder if I'd get
a lot of requests to sign things if I ever dressed up like that
and walked around the pits.

I was within 5 ft of him, and was like "oh shit, its jackie stewart!!" he looked over and gave a small nod and wave!

Yeah he must have several pairs of those damn pants. I saw him in green plaid for 3 days. Great time. Looking forward to next year

Pretty disappointed with BMW's results....sooo close to taking DP but Ford was just too fast.
