I'll be driving up in my Porsche but the corral passed sold out and I didn't snag one quick enough. Can't wait to see the new GT3Rs on track.

Will be attending with a group of about 6 regulars from about 2000 miles away.....

This event is definitely one of the high points for all of us to kick off another year of sports car racing, of sports car love. To meet our friends and drivers we know; relive races past, swim in the ocean, watch the sunsets over the St. Johns River, count the manatee in the 72 degree water, and best of all GET AWAY from the SNOW and ICE.

We all drive Porsches, but reluctantly they will all be sleeping in their cocoons waiting for the snow to melt and the de-icer to be washed away )-;

My wife and I will be there in a Guard Red GT4, along with a friend in his GR 911. Likely coming Friday day, but for sure early Sat. We enjoyed last year a bunch, especially being able to walk freely through the garages before the race.

We are going. Not the best for pics (Sebring is), but will give it a go.


I just hope it's not 85, like it was yesterday...

Hope it gets cooler for sure!

I appreciate great photography. As a newbee, i have a lot to learn. Would love to see some of the nighttime pics with the long light streaks come off the cars - i think that stuff is very cool. Perhaps you can post a few pics in this thread?

If I understand the website for buying tickets; the 2 day wristband gets you into the race track seating and the pits . Is that true ?

Yes, just make sure to get the infield wristband. Infield parking is gone but the shuttle is easy to use and not very crowded except for before race start and most of the day sunday. Come early and leave late, or not at all

I'll be there Sat/Sun. I have a PCA Corral pass and will probably drive the C4S.

The least we could do after the Speedway imposed a big increased on the price of PCA Corral passes. Enjoy the race and PCA amenities!
