First off, My camera is the SUCK and it was getting dark so the pictures are not great. Was down in Daytona working the Nascar race and had a chance to check out the Grand Am cars. It was nice to see some real road racing and not all left hand turns for a change. Below are some shots from the pits… ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010083.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010083.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010084.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010084.jpg) About $25,000 worth of BBS wheels. ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010090.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010090.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010097.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010097.jpg) Check out this blow out! ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010063-1.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010063-1.jpg) I want it… (tried to take some sneaky sneaky shots of the 4 playboy girls, but no luck) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010062.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010062.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010059.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010059.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010057.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010057.jpg) Broken suspension. ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010065.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010065.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010073.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/jxaxexgxexr/MISC/P1010073.jpg) Coolest GTO i have ever seen.

Nub question: How are the wheels secured to the cars? I assume lugnuts are too slow. ---

> [@RobHimself](#): > > Lance armstrong style…1 nut Actually. it depends on the car. Obviously, the teams want to have as quick of a pit stops as possible, but most of the time the driver change is the slowest part. The Daytona Prototype Grand Am cars use a single large nut, while the porsche Cup classes use traditional style 5 lug setup. They do pre apply lug nuts to the wheels with adhesive, just like in NASCAR. ---

Nice pics, looks like a good time. I sadly havent made it to Grand AM or ALMS this year and odds are looking slim that I will. ---
