I assume most of you watched some or all of the Rolex 24 hour this past weekend? I did as I do every year but this year I had an emotional attachment to the race because of the help I had received from Speed Source Racings engine man, David Haskell in tuning my Motec.
David spent several hours not only helping me get my motor running but passing his knowledge on so that I understood what was happening.
Because I have been to the Speed Source shop and met and talked to Sylvan Tremblay I naturally was pulling for them to have a good result. Last year when they were in the run for the championship in the last race of the season and were wrecked by a DP back marker I felt the pain along with them. So I felt good as they ran in the lead with the #70 RX8, a car I saw being built.
Well as most already know Speed Source won the GT class with almost a 5 lap lead at the end. Imagine my surprise when in the post race interview I see David included as a driver, It seems he helps out in the longer endurance races. I really felt happy for those guys because the win was deserved. Now I was wondering if I might have the only RF40, or dare I say GT40 replica tuned by a Daytona 24 hour winner?
