Daytona Beach, Fla. February 1, 2004 Due to standing water in several sections of the track, drivers in the Rolex 24 at Daytona were relegated to a full course yellow beginning at 3:05 am. Tom Bambard, driving the #24 Cauley Corvette GTR presented by Highlander was part of that parade.
"Not a lot of fun," exclaimed Bambard. "It might have been more trying on the driver's nerves than running at speed. We'd been having problems with a bad wiper all night long. To be trapped in a line of traffic didn't do a lot to help the situation. We had hoped to come in with one lap to go before green, but that never happened. I stayed in the car for about two hours and forty five minutes before turning it over to Pete Halsmer."
"There's not a lot you can do in a situation like this," added Danny Kellemeyer, crew chief for the #24 Corvette. "We brought Tom in to try and work on the wipers, but these are the types of things that sneak up on you in a 24 hour race. Tom did a great job of staying calm. Hopefully, we'll get the green shortly and Pete can go racing."
At 6:00 am the course was still under a full course yellow and following the pace car to avoid the troubled areas. This included runs down pit lane.
