Editor-In-Chief's Note: Check out John Thawley's latest photo gallery, this time from last week's "Roar Before the Rolex 24" - the mandatory test before IMSA's upcoming Daytona 24 hour race (Rolex 24) on Saturday, January 28th. The fact that IMSA requires all of its teams to come down to the "Roar" and pound around the Daytona International Speedway three weeks before the actual race weekend is a complete travesty, as it adds wear, tear, and additional budget expenditures for the teams, cars and drivers. So why does it happen? Because it means more revenue for IMSA, it's as simple as that. Could IMSA just add two days of testing in front of the race weekend itself to help cut costs and streamline racing team budgets? Yes, of course, but then again that isn't the NASCAR-ized IMSA "Way" now. Oh well, enjoy John's scintillating images from Daytona. -PMD
