Daytona is a 21-to-24-hour drive from Toronto, done non-stop if you have
two drivers
I did that from Detroit, back in 1969, for the 500, with another driver in
his brand new Mercury Cyclone (19 hours IIRC), Saw the Prelim race (a driver
was killed in front of us), we had enough and left Sunday morning (before
the 500) drove back & was @ work Monday Morning.

*Drivers?!?!?*
4 wheels to a bike event?!?!
Since there's a strong likelihood of mountain storms on I-95 in early
March, you'd take I-75 all the way from Detroit, but you might have to
drive through blizzards from Toronto until you were well south of the
Motor City.
Oh. OK. Maybe that makes it OK.
