Where is regis for this event? I've never been to Sebring either and need to learn it. Don't know if I could get away for this one or not, but worth looking into.

I will be there as always, I paddock on back concrete parallel to back straight, I also own a home in Sebring if there is anything I can help you with before or during event just ask. Look for my car and trailer and stop by.

Default Highly educational and extremely valuable weekend

If you're wanting to "learn" Sebring, this is the 3-day weekend to do it. Suncoast has two extended track walks (ride arounds on truck-pulled trailers) with excellent details from the chief driving instructor, Gavin Riches.

Among other things, you'll learn that the wall at the apex to Turn 1 is SIX FEET from the yellow line. At speed, it feels like the line is right up against the wall. You'll also learn small visual cues that really help at speed, like the imperfection in the T1 yellow line that denotes the apex.

It's a highly educational and extremely valuable weekend.

I’ll be at the Dec 9th Chin event....#86 2017 GT Silver Porsche GTS....you see a tall guy walking around with a prosthetic leg that’s me.

I’ll just be driving not instructing but if you have Sebring questions let me know...

I'll be there all 3 days with my Boxster, this is my 2nd year doing this event, I had a great time last year and as Mike said above the track walk was was very informative and I personally learned a ton from it.

On Friday and Saturday there are less run groups and so more track time which is also a nice bonus!

Thank you. I will be a White GT4 #191 and will be participating in the Instructor Training School that weekend as well. Really looking forward to it.

Dang, this seems like just the kind-of event I need to learn my way around there. Just wish I learned of it earlier, not sure I can make this one happen.., although the wheels are spinning. Wonder if there would be any other SM people there? Do some lead/follow and get a fellow SMers low down on the various corners.

I've seen videos of others with OEM lighting. By the time I have the night session I'll have 4 days at Sebring in a one month period.
