  • 2021 Daytona 24 Hours – a Look Back
    www.porscheroadandrace.com 2021 Daytona 24 hours – A Look Back Published: 5th February 2021 By: Martin Raffauf Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/2021-daytona-24-hours-a-look-back/ Rolex 24 at Daytona, 30-31 January 2021: Some of the Porsches do a publicity shot at the ROAR I first came to this race in 1971, so this would be my 50th year at the Daytona 24 hours. It is an interesting exercise to look back at what has changed over the years. www.porscheroadandrace.com The circuit The track has changed quite a bit since I first attended. Back in 1971 it was 3.81 miles in length and the track had NO chicane, now it is 3.56 miles long with a chicane on the backstretch. The chicane was first used in 1983 and was an attempt to control top speed and save the tyres in the banking. The pit complex and garages are totally different with fewer pits today than in 1971. In reality, only about 55 cars can be accommodated today without sharing pits, but back in the 1970s up to 100 plus cars might be entered for qualifying. Rolex 24 at Daytona, 30-31 January 2021: The IMSA old timers dinner was subdued this year due to Covid19. It was a small group, but a lot of fun in any case, and the tradition www.porscheroadandrace.com continues. From L-R: Steven Charsley, Alwin Springer, Larry Holt, Michael Colucci, Martin Raffauf, Mark Raffauf, John Shapiro, and special guest Steffen Hoellwrath of Porsche Motorsports The other huge change is track lighting.

  • ARIC ALMIROLA New Year, New Team Heading to Daytona
    ARIC ALMIROLA New Year, New Team Heading to Daytona KANNAPOLIS, North Carolina (Feb. 4, 2020) – Aric Almirola, driver of the No. 10 Smithfield Ford Mustang, is more motivated than ever to kick off a new NASCAR Cup series season at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway and he begins his 2020 campaign with a new crew chief and a new team. Last Dec. 4, SHR announced the crew chief of the No. 10 team Johnny Klausmeier and crew chief of the No. 14 team Mike Bugarewicz would swap car numbers and their corresponding drivers. Bugarewicz has led the No. 14 team since 2016, when he was Tony Stewart’s crew chief for his last NASCAR season before Clint Bowyer took over the driving duties in 2017. Bugarewicz helped Stewart secure his 49th and final NASCAR Cup Series victory at Sonoma (Calif.) Raceway and continued winning with Bowyer, who scored 2018 victories at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway and Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. Bugarewicz and Bowyer garnered 47 top-10s and two appearances in the NASCAR playoffs during their three-year run together. “I think it goes back to trying to make the whole organization better,” Almirola said. “Everyone at SHR is trying to make everyone better. I’m really fired up about Mike Bugarewicz and that whole team and getting a chance to work with those guys. I’ve had the chance to work side-by-side with those guys for years now and I’ve seen how methodical and how good ‘Buga’ is. I’ve seen their team and I’ve worked next to them in the garage and the shop.

    Q4 2017 Market Review & Outlook Morgan Creek Capital Management MORGAN CREEK CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Q4 2017 Market Review & Outlook Table of Contents Letter to Fellow Investors 3 Fourth Quarter Market Review and Outlook 25 Update on Morgan Creek 89 Q4 2017 Market Review & Outlook 2 Letter to Fellow Investors The Year of the Frog: #HackedMarkets Source(s): whitelotusfs.com, savethefrogs.com, usatoday.com, dailyhaha.com, flickr.com, content.time.com (12/31/65) Over the past year we have presented the Quarterly Letter almost like an old-time Serial, where each successive letter is connected to the last through a character or plot twist. Our story began last February with the first installment titled Babson’s Brilliance: #WelcomeToHooverville, which introduced our protagonist, Sir Isaac Newton (brilliant scientist who discovered Gravity), through the eyes of Roger Babson (brilliant entrepreneur and market observer who called the 1929 Crash), who was obsessed with gravity throughout his lifetime (founded a research foundation to find a “cure”). The letter described how we believed that with the election of Donald Trump, a President with no experience just like Herbert Hoover, there was a risk of a Bubble Melt-up in the equity markets that would follow the 1929 pattern (peaking at 2,800). The second installment in May, titled Not So Intelligent Investors: #GravityRules, connected Newton to the father of Value Investing, Benjamin Graham, who (like Sir Isaac) had learned about the power of Value Investing by using the exact opposite approach (leveraged speculation) during the Bubble leading up to the 1929 Crash. Graham quickly discovered that gravity does indeed rule and lost everything, causing him to rethink the error of his ways, embrace the discipline of Value Investing, pen the two most important books on the topic (Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor) and become a professor who inspired some of the most widely recognized investors of our generation (like Warren Buffett).
