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!

Full Version: Who is going to the 12 Hours of Sebring?
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.
Edit: 27 (I forgot, last year was 26) years straight for me this year! James, we don't need no stinkin hotels - its SEBRING! 
I will not be painting this year. Too fat. Too old.

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
I'll be there (13 year now).
RV spot 115 on the outside exit of T1. Come watch the cars skip down the old runway!

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.

Not sure yet, I was just hired on - but it will be Friday & Saturday from 9-6
I'll be there outside of Turn 17. TC knows what the bus looks like.

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 on race day. Shooting for Thursday or Friday...
I'm really gonna miss it this year but I simply cannot go due to other commitments. I loved my two previous trips to Sebring! Hope you guys all have a blast!
I won't be able to make it this year which makes me mad because this may be the last year of good racing 
. Oh well hopefully next year. Have fun guys.

I'll be there Thursday Morning (only because I can't get my Credentials Wednesday). Thursday is my only Play Day as I will be working Friday & Saturday. And there is is a change with the cars we will be bringing. Problems with the Corvettes, so the Theme is now the Chevy Tour Experience - we will have one 2013 Corvette, a few Camaros and some othercars.

I saw this pic earlier today - FUCHING cool. I can't believe how much sportscars have changed even since I started watching as a kid (not all that long ago). Looking at this picture makes me think what it must have been like looking at 917s, Ferrari 512s and Lola T70s side by side, thinking "man, sportscars really have come a long way."
That's T.C. is the red driver's suit. ^^^^
Entry List - There are 42 Cars Listed, but I know there are 43 as I got a call from my friend Carlos & he is another TRG Entry in GTC

Nice cartoon artwork T.C. Where did you find it?
I couldn't help but think it should include a Dyson Riley & Scott MKIII since they almost won in '99 against the BMW V-12 LMR.

Found it on Facebook. They probably couldn't put the Dyson R&S in since they were running out of room after all the Audi's. They did put the Dyson Mazda in though

I'll be there tomorrow!
Me too! Can't wait to blow this popsicle stand!
I head to the airport @ 3:00 and fly into ATL to meet friends tonight. I hope to be at the track around 4 AM tomorrow.
Was going to steal one of Paul's Nissan GTP pictures from his Flickr account, but they're locked!

Sebring, FL 10:30-10:30
Or Speed...
I was all set to go back after missing the last two years until yesterday. Got put on a new program- Gotta work. I have some parts expenses, because my poor mangled 914 is almost right again. (!)
You crazies have a good time. It may be the best 12hrs of my lifetime. I expect some agressive driving.
