We start the new season with two interesting notes on the subject of pulchritude. Near the end of January, Lorna and I spent most of a weekend planted squarely before the Flat Screen, surprised by how much we were enjoying Speed’s marathon coverage of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Surprised, because neither of us have ever been fans of Grand Am’s Daytona Prototypes. We do watch parts of some of the races, and in truth the action is often terrific….
