Racing drivers receive all the glory but winning is a team effort. I was thinking about this recently as I drove to Caribbean Jack’s, a seafood restaurant at Daytona Beach. It was a bit of a hike – probably a 400-mile round trip, not that the distance really entered into it. The point is, I was wondering what to expect as I made for the seventh running of the Road Racing Veteran Crew Club dinner during the run-up to the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Thing is, the mechanics are the real heroes
