First timer for the last 8H Indy
Had a daddy daughter day at our local track to see our first GT race. Been to other events at the track, but this race tonight was a special thing I hate see moving away from my area.
We went in rooting for the #6 Ford Mustang and watched the car clipped the curb hard and sail off into the grass. We started rooting for what my daughter referred to as "The James Bondish looking" #71 Aston Martin. We saw the #71 and the #120 go for spins in front of us. We ended up just picking our favourite liveries as they passed us each lap. We got to giggle over seeing the one headlight Porsche go by us as it got dark. And we got to get a laugh over the stranded (I can't recall which it was) car get picked up by the flatbed with 8 minutes left to go in the race.
This was an amazing event, and I'm sad to see it go. But the day was great. The weather held off until after the literal fireworks were over, and the race was enjoyable for my daughter. With that, I want to share this one photo I took as the sun set over the track.
