Could have been a 10 car wreck, many spins and close call but everyone made it.

Debris flag took 2 laps with half the cars in the pit looking for a flat tire!

Yeah I've noticed this last year that the corner workers at Sebring don't pay attention to the track very well. Especially the T7 t13 and t16 workers. I've seen them reading magazines during events and or looking the other way.

Mike, it was really nice to meet you as well. It sucks when you can't see. I wore glasses for years, thank God for Lasik

Wish you could have stayed for the whole weekend. Maybe next year
