As you may have seen during the SPEED broadcast of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge season opener at Daytona last weekend, long-time C360R driver David Thilenius was involved in a nasty shunt after the infield kink during the race. Dave was taken to hospital and was released a few days later with six broken ribs and has now returned home to California where he's recovering well. As soon as he's able he plans to resume his physical training and hopes to be back in a car in April.
What an amazing place Daytona is. It’s huge! Rumor has it that when the NASCAR races happen here, Daytona becomes the 8th largest city in Florida. 500,000 people can pack into here but for us, we’re lucky to have 10% of that. Not a bad number though. In some places, racing draws friends family and the strange bloke walking his dog and so even the smaller number of people is always amazing to see.
