Infield Camping w/ Trailhunter @ Daytona 24

[SonicTH]

Borrowed my buddies pop-up and rolled out to Daytona’s infield for the Rolex 24hr race. One of the colder 24’s ive been to. We saw very few 4G’s about and not a single TH or TRD. However, the 3G/2G taco’s were there in full force.

Not my first visit to the race - appreciated a few of the features/creature comforts the TH offered. Although not unique to the taco or trim, they really felt well suited to the trip and worth a mention.

- Hybrid creeping in camp when we’d come back from the bar late felt very courteous to my fellow campers — it did draw puzzled looks though.

-DRL’s offer good visibility without blinding your fellow campers.

-Those bedlights can and did light our camp quite well.

-The acoustic glass was a welcome respite from the lapping cars.

-The heated seats and wheel were also welcome in the low40/high30 degree temps. From south Fl, so yes it was cold.

- That little JBL speaker thumps— nice to have a charged BT speaker always at the ready.

- The bed electrical outlet meant our cuban coffee was now a tailgating activity.

It towed the pop up happily at 70-80 with no issue what so ever. Looking forward to Sebring 12hr in March!

Some pics for your viewing pleasure-

I prefer camping in the outfield.

The camper and its wheels are rated to 80mph?

Congrats on the TH! Just saw that my neighbor got one (I have a TRD Offroad) and I'm immediately jealous lol. Enjoy!

My buddy changed the tires and wheels- and otherwise prepped it. He’d given me the all clear to 80 MPH, which was previously tested by him for longer miles on his truck.

He’s a former Honda tech and current tire rep — I took his word and sent it.

To be fair though, 80 would occur when passing. I cruised in the 75 range most of the time. And it got back so no complaints.

haha- I’ve got plenty of that…

…but also plenty of better photographers/equipment out there with their shots readily available… not sure many of them stop by Ye old trailhunter though.

Here’s something from the Toyota booth atleast!
