25 Days of Daytona
Day 16 - Friday 11, 2005 I woke and stepped outside the trailer and I thought my eyes were deceiving me. The track was telling me I was in Daytona but my mind was humming a different tune. Geez', I really need to get Jim Neighbors out of my head. In the sunlight I could finally see all the changes everyone was talking about. Lake Lloyd was reduced by one-third its original size. There was new pavement everywhere, complete with electric and water hookups for the RV's, no wonder the noise struck me so last night. I read a couple stories about guys testing here last month that had been lost for up to an hour trying to find the new garage area and now it became perfectly clear as to why. Have you ever driven down the same road for many years of your life and one day a new stop sign, speed bump, or traffic circle is installed? You see it, your eyes tell you it's there but that very first time your mind and body try to ignore it. That's the feeling I was having only magnified tenfold because of the massive infield renovations that had taken place They completely leveled the old garage area and made a new one modeled after the old one. There is a big glass wall for the fans to view the action in the garage area called the fan zone and curtains for the drivers to have some privacy if needed. A four story.................
