Drama for TiC team this morning. Seems that something about Daytona really screws with the ABS on the car. Current theory is that it's the high banking.
Talking to Brock he noted that his ABS did the same thing on his morning recon run.
Tony spun the car on his first lap at 100+ mph due to the ABS freaking out, and the rear wheels locking up. Fortunately, no contact, no damage, and he was able to recover (not sure we can say that about his underwear). He completed the last two runs quite well though so we're still in it.
Yes, we got the spin on video, and we'll be posting that up. :)
There was also the concerns about cooling as we saw temps really start to go up yesterday at Sebring. After some quick pit modifications this morning cooling seems to be under better control.
Knowing what will happen with the ABS, and knowing that cooling is better this afternoon should make for better runs. Although, we expect today to look much like yesterday with the big power cars out in front. That's ok as we have planned for this, and we'll make it up on the upcoming short tracks.

Can't you just pull the ABS fuse(s)?
