Half the field would miss their races - taking the time to show the proper credentials, fingerprints, DNA samples and proof of birth to the security staff to get to the racing surface.

Aint that the truth (from 1st hand experience long time ago).  >:( >:(

Nooooooooooooooo. Daytona is about tradition.  I will remember forever my first year racing there in the rain... wait monsoon... no, hurricane.  Yeah, that accurately describes it.  Of course, in 1993 there wasn't a rule for rains in supersport so riding DOTs in rain so bad you couldn't see through the windscreen was a real joy!  The sheet of running water on the banking was also very cool.  Still another thing I learned that day: when crashing out of the chicane, it is possible to smack the wall with the aid of the water... kinda like a high speed slip n' slide.  I still wouldn't change a thing, nothing beats Daytona.

PS-will somebody at the track please park a scarecrow or something in the East Horseshoe, the seagull poo makes for less than desireable traction.

1993...yup.  

Led a couple of middleweight races.

Estok, Yates, Morrison, Murphy, Bowman, Rothman, Harrington.

Was a time when Honda paid well and the bikes were attainable.

I have a burn on my butt to this day from highsiding out of the chicane and sliding with my bike around the circumfirance of turn three.  I though I wore through my leathers, but they just got so hot that it burnt the leather, and then transfered the heat to me.

Anyway, recognize that the France family was an extremely important part to starting CCS with Roger Edmonson.  Daytona regardless of if you like it or not IS Daytona.  It's a huge name like the Nurburgring, Laguna, Spa, Monza, etc.  It's not a cake walk.  It's never easy, but it always will be Daytona.

Hey, I did almost the same thing, except I fractured my elbow in the process (back in 1992)...

Daytona or bust!

[hdpromos]

I think the ROC should go back to Homestead where there doesn't seem to be any home track advantage! ::)

Hey, I got connections, you know... ;D


Nah, actually, I raced about 6 times in 3 years back then as a novice in the FL region until I ran out of money, so I quit racing for 7 years. I started racing again once I moved to Minnesota.
