Watched qualifying in person.  I was speaking to a couple people at Action Express, during the GT Daytona session, so, missed a good chunk of that part of qualifying, but saw everything else for GTLM and the prototypes.  Here is video of the qualifying replay.  Let's join IMSA Radio, for the call.  John Hindhaugh, Jonny Palmer, and Jeremy Shaw call the action from the booth, with Shea Adam and Jamie Howe, in the pit lane.
