DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—Some people complain about Christmas decorations going up in November. Well how about this: IMSA’s WeatherTech Sportscar Championship kicked off its 2017 two weeks before Thanksgiving with a two-day test at Daytona International Speedway, Nov. 15–16. For sports car fans, this was Christmas coming early—and it was a very good thing.
