Well they have officially ruined the Daytona 200 now.
That race was not just about going to the track and seeing the race. Daytona has enough vendors
and attractions outside the race that you could walk around all day and be entertained.
Mix that in with the superbike race and the 200 and there were not enough hours in the day.
The race is held during bike week so it is almost impossible to even get a hotel within an hour's driving distance.
Most of the people that go to the race are going home after. Having it during the day allows you to do all that and still drive home. I would drive 4 hours up and back on the same day.
Now that's impossible. They don't realize that Daytona is as much of an experience as it is a race.
My favorite day of the year is now gone.
