So the week before the 51st running of the Rolex24 at Daytona International Speedway, this olelongrooffan received a rare personal email from our Chief Blooger. Seems he was up at the Detroit Auto Show (or some other hoyty-toyty event he always seems to finagle his way into) and ran into the Head Communications Officer for…

This olelongrooffan sometimes gets some grief from my fellow Hoons about my writing style and my references to things in the third person. One of the things I refer to is the town in which I live, Ormond Beach, Florida. I refer to it as the Birthplace of Speed. Today is a special event…

As this olelongrooffan has previously shared with my fellow Hoons, this past weekend was the 51st running of the Rolex24 at Daytona. This year the esteemed Hurley Haywood was the Grand Marshall and I must admit, I remember this guy when he first started driving back in the day. My older brother, Bus-Plunge, was a…

This past weekend was the 51 running of the Rolex24 at Daytona and this olelongrooffan spent an alcohol induced a sleep deprived weekend just trying to see what could be seen. As the Hooniverse is a bit short on posts and all the Overlords are out and about, I thought I would pop up my…

One of the cool parts about living here in the World Center of Racing is seeing some pretty cool assed old cars and trucks on a near daily basis. Just the other day while this olelongrooffan was heading into my high faluting job schleping trailers, I spotted a bunch of Canadian Ferraris in town to…

So this olelongrooffan and some buddies are winding up our quick laps through the garages here at the Daytona International Speedway during the Roar Before The 24 a weekend or so ago.

As part of the Rolex24 at Daytona festivities this weekend, on Saturday, the Ferrari Challenge will have one of their 2013 events out at the Daytona International Speedway.

Yeah, my apologies to my fellow Hoons. When I attended the Roar Before The 24 a couple weeks ago, this olelongrooffan despite having worn long johns, three layers of shirts as well as a scarf and overcoat later in the evening, well, I got sick as the Zombie Racer did last week. You know, up…
