Phenomenal! You should be on Sebring's payroll making commercials for them. I am going to assume you went to school for this, because all the shots and editing look very professional.

The 68 won't be in attendance... both of the WEC cars went back IIRC.

I thought it was announced last week the 68 will race Sebring with Mucke, Pla, and Johnson driving.

fieldodreams79 · 6 Mar 2017, 04:39 (Ref:3716779)

I don't know but 2 Fords is enough....

The entry list hasn't been released yet.... so.. I mean, it's possible, but I'd love a source.

seanyb505 · 6 Mar 2017, 05:05 (Ref:3716782)

Affirmative 3 Fords.

Haven't bothered looking into the line up if that's what you're wanting a source on.

Akrapovic · 6 Mar 2017, 07:20 (Ref:3716792)

3 Fords was confirmed about a 4-5 days ago.

No, I want to know who said it was happening. Can't give a toss about who is driving.

I'm not doubting it, just want to know where it's come from.

Akrapovic · 6 Mar 2017, 10:24 (Ref:3716818)

From Ford.

No need for super duper top secret stuff here. Press releases do just fine.

Thanks, I've been in and out for a few days working doubles so I can get to Sebring for some time away. Things get missed!

Read that DSC story nearly gave me a heart attack when they stated the race was on the 11th/12th!

**joeb** · 13 Mar 2017, 14:11 (Ref:3718374)

Just an FYI, I turned this into the race thread and put the requisite links on the first post.

Dyson Mazda · 13 Mar 2017, 14:26 (Ref:3718378)

That entry list is so strong, and then you get to the PC's...........

ATLFalconsFAN · 13 Mar 2017, 16:36 (Ref:3718392)

I posted this in the trackside thread, but will re-post it here since I think trackside is often overlooked:

Here's something annoying:

If you go to the Sebring website and look at 2017 tentative schedule you will see a short list of things for Wednesday. One of those (the last for Wednesday) is listed as a track walk for 90 minutes. From memory it seemed that the competitor track walk was only listed on the very detailed schedules that showed things like load in times, chapel service times, lunch schedule, various race track minutiae things.

So, when I read this on a listing that only shows the on track activities it leads me to believe that perhaps this means that this is a public track walk, and that gets me very excited. Excited enough that I will leave my house extra early on Wednesday for my ten hour drive so that I can get there in time for it. (I remember doing a public track walk at Mosport once and it was fantastic, made me wish that all tracks did it)

So today I call the raceway and talk with someone there. Here's a basic transcript from memory of our conversation:

Person answering the phone (PATW):
Hello, Sebring International Raceway how can I help you?

Me:
Hello, I hope you are having a nice day. I have a question about something on the schedule for Wednesday. It says that you have a track walk scheduled, is this open to the public?

PATW:
I'm not sure, do you mind holding so I can get an answer?
*Puts me on hold*

PATW:
There is no track walk, you must be looking at the wrong schedule, where did you see this?

Me:
I saw it on your website.

PATW:
No, that is not on our website.

Me:
It is, I am looking at it right now.

PATW:
Well you must be looking at the wrong thing, there is no track walk. Look for the schedule on our website.

Me:
Yes, the schedule on your website says there is a track walk.

PATW:
No it does not.

Me:
Okay. Thanks for your time.
*Obviously did not feel like arguing*

What do you all make of this? Does anyone else feel like calling and trying to get an answer? Does anyone know where we can get the old proper schedule?

seanyb505 · 13 Mar 2017, 16:53 (Ref:3718393)

It's lunch time.

Says "tentative" at the top, so that means they can make it up and change at well.

Seems odd, but assume this is for drivers and crews to walk the track and perhaps get lost in a Sebring pothole.

EDIT: here's the one from the IMSA website
http://sportscarchampionship.imsa.co...ntschedule.pdf
Nothing about a track walk or anything for that matter on Wednesday.

seanyb505 · 13 Mar 2017, 18:02 (Ref:3718401)

I called, she said she was misinformed. Spectator track walk is a thing as described in schedule.

I stand corrected...she must have been "new".

That will be cool. We'll be leaving Atlanta then...

You could always walk the first 3.7 miles toward fl

I'd need to find the worst street in town to start with!

Besides, you've met me. Can't you tell I walk only when required?
