Okay, back today for the races. Now I'm not a photographer like Andy, or any of the rest of you for that matter, so don't laugh at my attempts, but we've had a blast today, and can't wait until tomorrow for some real racing! Sorry I don't have any pics of the Indy cars practicing in the rain late today......the roostertails were quite a site! Got some shots of the Corvette DP cars, and even the Whelen GT Vette. The Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP qualified 1st, the Gainsco Corvette 2nd. The Suntrust Corvette (Ricky Taylor) spun while qualifying, and did some kind of damage. You will see in the pics that they were doing some major mechanical work.....at least to the clutch area. Tomorrow should be fun!
Click HERE for the rest of the pics. (Bill, I tried to make it a little easier to find for old farts like you and me!) Oh yeah, Bill. Trae says the Indy cars were ugly before, too.......just uglier now! Enjoy! |

There's no way in hell, you could be a worse photographer than me,  I can see the HERE now but tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. is probably questionable.  |

Thanks, we are having a blast! I know it's not Sebring, but the grounds and track are really incredible, and the racing is pretty good, too. Maybe next year you (and anyone else who would like) could meet us here. It's an easy drive from our home, so it's an easy trip to make for us. |

I have heard very nice things about Barber. Great sight lines, excellent facilities.
People forget that Sebring is an abandoned USAAF training base, and for many years, it was never maintained. In short, it's a mess!! But that mess is what makes it special. Don't fret the pics, they look GREAT!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! |
