Sebring pics....

Here's a few I took out at Sebring. The Mazda 3-rotor retired around hour 10 with overheating issues. I saw a couple of 8's but didn't meet the owners. Was anyone from this board there????

That double yellow is for a worker who FELL into a tire stack and got STUCK. Did anyone see that on SPEED??? I gotta try to FastForward through tivo to check it out tonight.

Yes. It's almost as much fun as driving (SCCA racing license pending). I think it's a good way to see the course, and since I don't have a gigantic racing budget, it's a way to stay with the racing scene.

I went to Skip's 3-day back in December.....good time. Too bad the Race weekend was "skipped". I woulda driven if I knew you were short. haha.

I worked corners from "78" to "89". Did a little bit of traveling too. This was back in the days of 24 hour Showroom Stock races. I did 3 in one year.

Hey guys...Thanks for the thumbs up on the camera work. The point & shoot works OK if you get close. BUT I found some great pro shots on the ALMS website I wanted to post....

Yes...the audi IS that quiet....amazing when compared to the vettes and the panoz and those new porsches.

I worked corners for the New England region for a couple years. Good fun. always wanted to do one of the big endurance races like Sebring or Daytona.

I did get the see the Mazda GTP car at Lime Rock during the final season of GTP. Along with the Toyota's with their little 4 cylinder engines running at some ungodly amount of boost.
