OK, it's a Month away and we need to know who is going.
I know George (ThePaintedMan) & Joe (Series9) are going - so who else? I will be there as I have been hired as an Instructor for the "Chevy Tour Experience". Corvette is the Main Sponsor of the 12 Hours as it is the 60th Anniversary of the Corvette. We will be set up on the Skip Pad/Auto-X Circuit as you enter the Track/Paddock. We will have the New Corvette for you to drive & me to Instruct you! T.C. |

I feel like a dope - I only got to spend a few minutes with T.C. and Mark (Zimms) over the weekend as I had family members straggling in over the few days I was there and spent most of the time making runs to Publix and the gas station for supplies. However, it was an awesome time as always.
I did not get to drive a Corvette with T.C. since they (apparently) had a breathalyzer set up and the beer won out. I'll look forward to riding with him in the future though at a DE. DeltaWing blew up early. Audis were incredible and in some sections you could hear the flywheel spinning up under braking! Falken guys gave the Ferraris and Vettes a heck of a run. Ferrari lost out to the Vettes in the last fifteen minutes when the tires gave up. LMPCs and GTCs were largely boring as usual. Don Panoz definitely left an indelible mark on NA sportscar racing and I feel fortunate to have experienced every Sebring of that era. Next year surely won't be the same! |
