2021 Official IMSA Spotter Guide

IMSA Spotter Guide, featuring 2021 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Michelin North American Endurance Cup & the Michelin Pilot SportsCar Challenge starting with the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Raceway

Click through to download this guide to all the Daytona 24 Hour race participants in PDF form. This is super helpful when you are trying to figure out what the heck is happening on track, when all the classes are mixing it up. Andy started these as a labor of love and now gets help from the teams with livery / sponsor ID but is still a freelancer. The guide will be updated with any changes as the week goes on, although I don’t think it’ll cover whatever colors of gaffers racing tape crews grab to patch the cars together as the night goes on 😂

Below is a ~randomly chosen slice of the guide featuring the top two classes, DPi and LMP2, to give you an idea of what you’ll get.

dialogue from A Spotter's Guide

Patrick: I can't be the only person who can't stand the aftertaste of toothpaste.

Lawrence: No, but you're the only person who feels the need to comment on it.

speaking of misunderstood supernatural creatures... an excerpt of an excerpt from my novel in progress

"I guess the first thing to do is explain to you how to spot a vampire, because in our world today full of spray tans and 'tortured youth' who look like they've just crawled out of the deepest caverns of the Misty Mountains, you can't just point at the nearest pale person, declare them a vampire, and consider it a job well done.

"I mean, if you went by skin tone alone, I'm the prince of the underworld, rather than simply terminally Irish. So how do you spot a vampire? The no reflection trick is good, but it doesn't immediately rule out a few other supernatural denizens either; ghuls and the glamour of a fae, for example. The best way to spot a vampire, then, is to stumble across one out drinking with his or her friends.

"Vampires love to drink. In fact, you're almost never going to run into a vampire under the age of twenty-five (allegedly), not only because informed consent is big in the vampire community and biting an underaged participant would require parental consent as well, but because being too young to buy your own alcohol for all of eternity is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment to a vampire.

"... vampires are kind of drama queens, just FYI. But they really do know how to party, which comes in handy when you're wandering lost around the really grotty part of Sacramento looking for a grocery store, let me tell you."

----an excerpt from A Spotter's Guide to Vampires, by Patty O.
