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.

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.

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 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'll keep an eye out, but that'll match about half the people with cameras. LOL

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.

Couldn't agree more. This will be my tenth in 11 years. I missed 2005, started a new job and couldn't take the time off. Should have just gone for the weekend.

Great Day!

I won this 1/18th scale C6r from Michelin! They had a tech talk and then a drawing. Whoo-hoo!

Yesterday, we got to meet Shakedown067! Great guy! We will hook up with him tomorrow for sure!

The next trivia contest is gonna be cool... but more on that later...
