Here are some pictures that I took at the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway (sorry, they are cell phone pics). I had a good time, till it started raining. Then it was just too cold and wet to really enjoy.

Great cars, thanks for the photos. Still not seeing the 'art' in that art car! Good mix of classics!

Looks awesome. Soooo. Do hotels in the area have secure parking for cars? I don't tend to leave my car outside with $5k sets of wheels on them lol.

I'm sure some of the hotels would have security cameras in their parking, but I would still be worried about my wheels. A lot of nice cars come out to the event, so I might worry about thieves targeting the area. But I've never heard of anything like that at Rolex.

Yea there's always nice cars at events like this. Definitely targets for thieves. Hell even at NASCAR events here in my hometown people come out and raid the campgrounds while folks are at the race.

Yeah, honestly, no way I'd leave $5k in wheels on around Daytona. Rent a compact for two days. It's worth it!
