I've seen dancing girls at Sebring on mobile dance "clubs", even with the pole .

Man, I wish I was going. I'll be there in 2017.

The party atmosphere in Green Park has gradually come down over the years, it really is kinda tame these days, feels more like Petit now (no offense!).

However, it's still a good event to go.

It is also a paved surface, active before and during the race, and loads of vendors are set up there-food, drinks, t-shirts/hats, models, art work, etc.

I have tent camped at Sebring about six times now, all in Green Park near the hairpin. Skipped last year as I was feeling down on the series, but wanted to return this year to see the new Fords and Lamborghinis and such. Problem is that my usual traveling partner couldn't get the time off work, and some of our other group who were local have had babies recently and now can't make the trip.

So I figured I would just throw this out there, if there are any other tenthers who are planning to camp and want to meet up with someone and share food and race stories and such please let me know. I'm planning to get there Wednesday evening and stay until Sunday morning.

I know a 10ther who went solo one year and had a great time.

And sorry, I'm going next year; not this year. I can only "handle" Green Park every 3 years or so

Have fun.

They'd only planned on doing the Rolex , they already shipped the car back to Europe.

Yes! I have to believe they have someone on staff that would have specific information that may be helpful. Sebring was a B17 training base for WWII, and they celebrate that heritage, and always have. Now with Nascar's ties, there is another organization with a history of strong appreciation for those that serve and did serve, and that area itself has a large population of vets.

If there is currently no such support mechanisms, an inquiry may just start a ball rolling to establish one for the future.

Coach Ep : Thank-You for that link . YES I did send him an e-mail this morning , Short but I did offer suggestions as to what our concerns were .

We do realize that firstly for them it is a business and entertainment facility . We are NOT asking for any free stash or special discounts or even recoginition that we are in attendence .Only how thing might be made more accessable for us . Too late to plan for this year BUT Social Services at the Bay Pines Fla. VA is very much interested in putting together a bus load group for 2017

I will get back to you with what their response was

Thanks Again

Good to know they are listening to the fans. I was kind of surprised to read that two of their main priorities right now are building a large grandstand and tearing down the scoring pylon, but I understand the tower is in disrepair and will eventually have to come down, just like the old water tower, or the scoring pylon at Indy last year.

The WeatherTech Championship sessions conclude a four-day event that also features four of IMSA’s additional series. The Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, Mazda Prototype Lites Presented by Cooper Tire, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, and Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama will have alternating sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 23-24.

Sessions on each of the four days [Feb. 23-26] run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The test will be open to the public at $10 per day, or free to ticket holders for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. There will be no overnight camping.
Good to share.

Lambo's response to IMSA's penalty mentions 6 Huracan for Sebring, we saw 5 at the Rolex with Dream basically replacing O'Gara in the line up.

Konrad 2x
Change
Dream
Paul Miller

Where's the extra car coming from? 2nd car for Change or another new team?

It was probably written before O'Gara pulled the plug.

Townsend Bell still seems fairly confident he and Sweedler will be at Sebring with the Lambo one way or another.

A couple of cars listed on the tech inspection schedule for the Sebring tests tomorrow that aren't on the entry list. The DragonSpeed Oreca as expected, and Alegra have shown up with their BMW Riley that they purchased a couple of months ago.

I forgot about Bell & Sweedler! Hope we'll see them back - if not in a Lambo then perhaps in Squadra Corse's old 458?

Going by their facebook page, Alegra looks set to compete. Good to have another P-class entrant (although they won't be vying for the win).

Good to see the results. I checked on live timing during the first practice yesterday and it was still on Daytona. That Dragonspeed Oreca has a great livery.

judging by this pic

http://it.motorsport.com/imsa/photo/...id=6363228&i=9

the alegra riley should be a former ganassi riley ford or the chassis used by MSR in 2014. If you look well, the car has side exhausts and the turbo air take that only the ford ecoboost powered riley had, never seen before on a BMW/dinan one
