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!

I can only say that I am truly sorry that I can't make it this year but I assure you that we will be parting there next year. Those who are close enough to go and are not are making a mistake by missing it. It is the biggest automotive party on the planet.

I may go, I tried to find a hotel since I will not try to drive back to Jax, and there are none available anywhere. If I can find one, I am in.

Not sure I would take driving instruction from someone who jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Sebring Hotels are always expensive especially during the 12 Hours (usually 5 Day Minimums plus the highest Rates) Try the Lake Placid or Arcadia Areas - about a 1/2 Hour Drive

Great pictures Zimms,

Have not been back since 08 (to the actual race)when my racing friend, now deceased, had a bad experience in Green Park, imagine that?
I try and go back every year and as those who live in Florida know, someone always picks that weekend to visit?
Even if you tell people you can come down anytime but this weekend....they will show up on Sebring weekend?

This year it's do more with less at work, understaffed and overworked.
Works pays for Porsche stuff so what can you say.

Zimms if I can get away I will attempt to come for Saturday only, is there anywhere near your spot to park?

Thanks,

Hope to come back for the festivities.

Vysoc,

We are in the North Paddock and it requires a more expensive pass. If you get there, we can squeeze you in.

We will have some extra chairs. Stop by for a beer.. I'll PM my cell.

Shoot me yours too if you would! I'd like to meet up with some of you guys this year! We're over by Gurney Bend, right behind the first spectator hill after the drive-over bridge. Look for the (Mustang) Blue 914.

Its on Bridgestones now? Should be interesting. Either way, the DP's look like Model T's compared to the DeltaWing. Wait till you see it T.C. - it was incredible to watch at Petit.

I won't be able to make it this year which makes me mad because this may be the last year of good racing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Oh well hopefully next year. Have fun guys.
