Final 1998 Race Weekend (Daytona)

---

Pictures from Team Daemon Racing's trip to the 1998 Champion Cup Series Race of Champions.

Trailer tire blowup, take 1. Somewhere in North Carolina. We have no idea where the rubber part went.	Reverse camera angle -- note fender damage and scrapes in road.	Tire changed, fender removed, and pictures taken, all in under 10 minutes.	Halloween '98-- Paul goes Trick-or-Treating on the F2.
A map of Daytona International Speedway	Uh... no motorcycles?? Daytona security guards are just so nice.	TDR's garage and banner.	This is what the scene in the open grarages was like.
This gives new meaning to the term gear bag.	Caught on film! Paul actually doing some work on the F2.	Paul's practice certificate -- this was just strange.	Paul leans the F2 into Daytona's West Horseshoe.
Paul flicks it into the West Horseshoe.	Another shot of Paul in the West Horseshoe.	A shot of the exit of turn 6 and start of the West Banking.	Middle of the West Banking.
Paul, alone on the West Banking. This gives you an idea of how high the banking is.	Paul drops out of the draft to pass another amateur on the West Banking.	Paul chases another amateur around the West Banking at 150mph.	What it looks like as you enter the Daytona chicane (T9/10).
A shot of the entrance to the East Banking (exit of chicane).	Middle of the East Banking. The right side of the picture gives you an idea of how steep the banking is.	Exiting the East Banking, onto the front straight.	Paul flashes across the finish line.
150+ mph winds push loose fairings into hot header pipes -- so we installed a custom spacer.	We closed up the hollow underside of the F2's tailsection and dropped laptimes by a second.	40 feet up -- that's tall!	Adam and Paul pose by the pit-in wall.
Funniest road sign we saw on the trip.	Trailer tire blowup, take 2. Somewhere in Florida. Someone stole 10 sq. in. of our tire!
