94 cars...yes 94 cars in the red group for Saturday sprint.... Brings to mind the "mayhem" commercials that AllState is running on TV.

if there are any yellow flags thrown if you are not at the front of the pack I would suggest to get a radio. Last year green was thrown as I was coming out of T16, I got a call from Bella over the radio to go andafter a yellow in the enduro by the time I got to T17 I had pased at least 20 lapped carrs. Made a huge difference..... guess many did wonder why I was passing them and made me think of the "I was seventh" video

I count 82 in Orange. What's it like being on that track with so many cars? I have been at Road Atlanta with 65ish and it was a royal pain. First turn everywhere. Not really fun.

PS (edit) Do racers doing the T&T have to fill out the DE tech form?

I think I counted 19 GTB1 cars in the green run group. That's a lot of cayman itc cars. I wonder if that kind of turn out will continue throughout the season. Thoughts?

Makes me queasy. I wish I could be there. Some idiot friend of mine (Gregg Lewis aka "Chaos") decided to get married that weekend.

It's an effing blast, no kidding. The track is so wide in places that you can blow by a dozen slower cars in a lap, no problem. Great for those that are poor qualifiers.

You should still come down and do the enduro with me!!! It's not the being in front at the beginning, it's all the traffic from lap 3 on...

82 is doable no problem IF WE ALL LOOK AT OUR MIRRORS. We have raced larger groups at Sebring with higher speed differentials than what's on the orange group with no problems. The only issues are if someone is spaced our out there.

See you there!
