Not really. Those aren't NASCAR cars. You were correct
24 Hours is a pretty long time to drive. I've done that, and also ridden my bike that long. So, I agree with your correct observation there too.
You're also correct that Daytona has an oval race track. Here's the pedant in me. The oval portion of Daytona is actually a tri-oval.

When I hauled the race car, it was normal for me to leave for west coast races with 24 hours to get there. This was back in the 55 mph days. #poorplanning #nologbook
It took me 25 hours to do a 600K on the bike, so I figure 362 miles, give or take. #flattires #goatheads

They're forecasting much less for us true northerners at this time.

Rollers are all well and good, but considering that you live in a place where roads are viable the vast majority of the time, my priorities would be outside first - waiting a week or two for weather to blow over isn't going to meaningfully set back your fitness and a PM is going to be far, far more valuable in progressing towards your goals.

I’m liking my ruby slippers. They’re the first pair with turn buckle ratcheting system, which doesn’t seem all that different but, ease of adjustment on the bike seems better than the hook and loop ones.
Good thing I didn’t put the look memory eyelet covers right away, about a mm forward and perhaps an angle/rotational adjustment of 1-2 degrees (on the left one) might be needed.

Okay, so when I talked about trimming my housings the other day, this is what I meant.
Before:
After:
The bike came with a 130mm stem, and more than enough cable for that. I'm running a 110, so I figure I have at least 2cm extra. I ended up cutting about an inch off each of the 4 housings before running the cables back through. As far as I can tell, the housings are in acceptable condition.
Next time I retape the bar, though, I gotta replace the housings.

Also, Datlas, about your snow blower. One other thing to check. If you've got a vented gas cap, make sure it's clear. You can unscrew it just a bit to see if it makes a difference.

When I got back home I found out the road course was decommissioned in 2011, and the infield has lots more garages than it used to. RIP.

I will check that. One huge frustration is that it ran great a couple months ago (checked it in advance of winter, was about 50F out) and it worked great. So whatever is causing it to stop seems to be a problem in the cold. If it misbehaves again after this storm I will have to get a small engine repair shop to look at it.

Of course paint is just unnecessary weight, so...
