Making my first visit to Daytona, looks like 20 min qualifying session before our first race. Anyone care to share any tips on drving this track. Most concerned with getting off the tri-oval and into the infield portion of the track and the chicane in the back strech.

Thanks

Greg the entire Auto-Technik crew will be parked in east end of the paddock (in the grass). We have video and lots of data we will be happy to share with you (as long as you don't beat my track record).
