I'm currently tentative. I'm flying to Canada (now) and am doing head gaskets in a LT5. If I get done in time, I will fly down to Sebring. I've got my fingers crossed.
If I go, I will be a pure spectator. First time in a long time, as I didn't bring my camera gear, plus my credentials have not arrived yet. |

As Andy said, I will be there, camera in hand. Lots of pics to be taken. I might even get a few shots of the cars.

Good luck Jeff. Hope you can make it out and your credentials arrive. It's so much more fun on the other side of the fence. I'm hoping to find a fire suit so I can go in the pits (and for a possible chump car event later in the year). For those that make it. Keep an eye out for the Jake flag on the outside of turn1. Spots 69 & 70. |

See you there!!!
We have Corvette Corral passes, so we usually set up camp there, so to speak. |

Nice. I hear it's a great setup at Sebring. I'll certainly be taking photos of the coral Saturday. If you see a 6'3" dude in a blue photo vest and Johnny O hat...that'd be me. |

Bummer...I'm stuck up here in Lapland, 30 km from the Arctic circle. It's always cool to see the new cars out for winter testing, though.
There were 6 Panameras parked in a row outside my hotel this morning. And an R8. Ever see a Porsche with studded tires? |

I cannot remember when it was THIS cold for THIS long. Insane. |

I just checked the tracks website. The entry list shows
P1 - 7 P2 - 3 GT2 - 13 LMPC - 6 GTC - 7 Total 36 entries. There are 4 coupes in P1 and 1 in P2. Looking forward to meeting a few Gurus while down there. Look for a bald headed old fart with way too much camera equipment. Probably wearing some sort of Sprint Car t-shirt. |

I'm making sure to stock up on extra beer this year. So all Guru fans stop by the outside of turn 1 (look for the jake flag and sebringfans.com truck/banners), say hi, and grab a beer. If you see an Avalanche rolling by with sebringfans.com on it...hop in for a ride. Hell, I'll probably be driving the damn thing...

you must, John. This is a major life altering experience.
Seriously. This will be my 18th in 19 years. My first was 1992. I missed 1998 - oh, yea, I regret that move. |
