Our racing participants have burned a lot of rubber on the race day track, and with all the amazing lap times, it's easy to see the enthusiasm in this year's Daytona Weekend 2013 Racing Extravaganza!
As each racer ran the race course on Sunday, the servers received over 200 incremental reports indicating where the racer's car was on the track for each race. Each of these 200 reports includes not only the location of the car, but also time, velocity and direction. Taken together with the start and end server times recorded on the server, this race was amazing in every way!
Below is a visual representation of the paths taken over the race course by each of the winning racers:
After completing the analysis of all of the recorded data, here are the winners of the two lap Daytona Weekend 2013 Racing Extravaganza Race Day Course!

All New Balloon Color Wheel Whirl!
Caution, whirling is known to cause 1-Dizziness, 2-Confusion, and 3-Excitement! In this carnival of color game, you will definitely experience excitement when not one, not two, but three whirling wheels of color are set spinning! To play, just enter the game room, grab your favorite balloon from a virtual rainbow of hues and watch the flying colors as the wheels are whirled to reveal the winners! When the wheels stop whirling and land on a color, if you are holding one of the selected colors, you win!
The Balloon Color Wheel Whirl will begin at 3:00 PM Pacific Time (6:00 PM Eastern Time) Thursday, February 28th!
Good luck and may your color be whirled!
All New Red Hot Balloon Game!
What is hot? The sun, a cookie fresh from the oven, and a red hot balloon! Yes, in this new game based on fast reflexes and team spirit the object is to NOT be holding the red hot balloon when the game spinner stops. So, when you enter the game, choose your team, then a red hot balloon will be passed to one of the players. It then becomes a frantic passing free-for-all in an attempt to get rid of that red hot balloon before you are burned! The team not holding the red hot balloon when the spinner stops wins!
Be here on Saturday and watch for this exciting balloon game at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (2:00 PM Eastern Time) Saturday, March 2nd!
It is brand new and RED HOT!
Check the Event Calendar for local times!
