Never been but thinking I'll go. General feedback is that it's fun but the idea of learning a track on test-and-tune day then racing has me feeling a bit intimidated frankly.

Maybe - wish PCA would work to arrange / pay for transport for top finishers in class to do a championship race

If anyone new to this race and needs insight or event details feel free to reach out Sebring has been my home track for some 20 years still learning it I even bought a home there 2 years ago so now I added learning the town to my efforts.

Did that last yr.. 67 starters in sprint 1 was a little hairy on a new track but after 4 days I finally got up to speed for the enduro. Lower your expectations and you'll be fine.. Lots of room for run off

I appreciate the offer but the engine has been sent out - that's what I am going to be waiting on. I got the "we can't guaranty that it will be back in time" and the options to guaranty it went beyond my budget.

Well, the first engine had a hole in the block and the second one, which was "rebuilt", was actually a spray painted block with a few new parts hammered onto it. Waiting to see how it shakes out to see if the supplier of the "rebuilt" (heavy on the air quotes) engine will get publicly outed or do the right thing.

DMTD is never in the cards for me unfortunately - too much time away from work.

I love going to Sebring. It breaks up the winter, nice to see friends, and just happy to be back in a race car. I'll be upset if it doesn't because it would have been my SPC debut!

I'd light a candle at church but I'm pretty sure I have more important things to pray for.

Do you guys trailer to FL from NE or do you have shops transport your cars for you?

Starting in SPB next season as a rookie in a new to me car. Trying to keep new params to a minimum by at least starting at a known track (LRP). Sebring, maybe the season after.

A lot of people have shops consolidate transportation needs down south. Some folks get together and organize their own bulk transports. Biggest issue for some cars with slicks is freezing tires on the way down.
