If a B-17 could handle the last turn, why can't your Cup Car?

Trying to imagine what 17 would be like without all the bouncing. I doubt I'll find out in this lifetime.

I could handle it no problem.... IN 1942!!!!

Unfortunately the earth has changed a bit since.

Must have been undermined by the fire ants.

Interesting aside about the place, Mike (don't know if you've heard this). Look at the big wide expanse of concrete between 16 & 17 (some of it is paddock for us). First time I ran a race there with Skippy years ago, one of the Skip guys said the crown on that old runway is TWO FEET to allow runoff for the bomber pilots during Florida torrentials. It's so wide, you don't even notice it til you get low and look at it.

Seriously though I really wish they would repave Sebring.
