A few years ago, D.I.S. added free wifi.   I have had great success with it from paddock and the infield tent camping area.
I will be posting photos from the track, and will probably take me a week or two to post all.

From the roc mailer  .pdf (see link above)

QuoteGeneral move-in: Move-in will commenceon Thursday after the Team Hammer participants
have been signed in. (Starting at
12:00pm) Paddock space will be on a first
come-first served basis and riders will be
allowed into the paddock on Thursday after
getting their credentials. Please be patient,
we will try to get everyone in the facility if
possible during the afternoon and the final
group will be allowed in at 5:00 PM when
the Hammer School Registration ends. In all
cases, we must leave the paddock by 5:30
PM Thursday.
To gain access to the paddock if you are
not registered for Team Hammer, you must
have an event credential from ASRA/CCS so
make sure you visit registration before moving
your vehicle into line.
Be careful what time you arrive so you get to credentials before closing and plus have time for trailer drop.

It is raining here at Daytona.  Started as a drizzle last evening.   About 4 am it got extremely windy.   Lots of canopies destroyed in the campground.
Practice has just started, lap time by Tristian King in the first practice session was over 2:40.

Sunny and hot this afternoon. 

We are presently in a delay, another red flag.  The last 3 races (or so) have had red-flags on the first lap.
Here's the last photo for a while.  We have a 200 mile drive home and will post more during the week.

Wish I could had gone. But only got 1 race weekend this year combined with some med bills put off they 19hr drive to Daytona. Met August this year at Blackhawk.

When I heard it rained, that made it official for the Midwest region. Rained at EVERY EVENT at some time.

Got about 1/10 of the computer going again after the hard disk crash.  Yes, all my 'files' were backed up, but still re-installing programs.  (Yes, I did have a "WindowsBackupImage" but I can not get the computer to accept it.  Image works great on the server, just would not work on my desktop.)  It will be a  few more days before I get back to photos, I do have a day-job that I need to get up-and-running again.


So this photos shows that it is tough to get a good shot of a bike crossing the finish line. 

The shutter was open for 312 microseconds... and that is obviously not fast enough....

After I posted these photos, I had a  hard disk failure.  Plenty of backups, but it still took me weeks to get fully back into business.  I was able to resume processing and posting more Daytona Race of Champions photos yesterday.
