Anybody going to Sebring for the 12 Hour?

midlifecrisis · 02-23-2010, 05:45 PM

I bought my ticket for Sebring today - just wondering whether anybody else on the board is going.

I've never been, but I hear its an experience! My son's on spring break so he's meeting me and we'll go together. I bought the BMW Corral ticket - I guess we'll have to leave his Camry outside. Maybe we'll throw a couple of roundels on it and try to sneak in.

Hope you have a good one. That's probably THE ALMS race to attend, since European and other world race teams would choose this as their only American race to attend. It's their testing ground for Le Mans.

Yeah - I've been to Daytona for the Rolex 24 for the last 5 years, so I thought I'd follow up with an ALMS event. I only saw them once before, about 4 years ago at LRP.

Make sure to take a lot of pictures... I hope Peugeot finally takes this race from Audi.

They did take Le Mans. Wish that I could go. But I have uni.

I will be attending Lime Rock

Yes, my father and I will be there. It is an annual pilgramage for us. Sort of a break from the Northern Winter cold. We both enjoy driving. We'll be departing from Lancaster PA afternoon of 3/17 and getting down there the afternoon of 3/18. Taking my Alpine white 135. We'll be in the BMW car corral also.

Look forward to meeting you both and sharing a few beers while inhaling the smell of burnt fuel and hot racing brakes!

I didn't see Audi in LMP1... so it looks like the race is Peugeot's for the taking:
