I couldn't even relax in the pit stall between run sessions those bugs were so bad. I will think twice about running Sebring again in love bug season.

I have heard that PAM is also a good thing to use for the love bugs. No direct experience since I have only been in FL a few years. Some of my Native FL customers told me this.

thats the point the bugs go with it. recoat as needed during the season of love . It is real cheap by the way. I bet it could be set up in a handheld garden sprayer left in the trunk.

I drove in that morning and didn't notice any bugs until the Orange Groves just outside the track. Got covered up going to lunch and driving home. Love bugs must not be early risers.

Didn't notice many in the back stretch paddock. Breeze must have helped. One track session and the windsheild was coated pretty solid.

Hopefully they'll have gotten their groove on and passed on by this weekend.

Mike, what bad have you heard?
You there this weekend?

I will test some on the truck to drive to Sebring, I was hoping it would protect the car enough that if I spray it on each track ebent i can get rid of bra's and wraps altogether. Who cares what it looks like on track..
