Sights and Sounds from 2018 12 Hours of Sebring

I've been to Sebring a few times (to say the least). This year I was able to enjoy the Porsche Hospitality and a prime "Sebring Experience" location @ Turn 4. I thought some of you may like to see this. If you've never been to the Sebring 12HR race, it's an incredible time...



Turn 4 Compound... 6 RV spots. It comes in handy that someone is in the carpet business... and that the track hauls it away with a front end loader after the event.

Jim Hoffman... Chin Chief Instructor aka "The Nicest Guy on the Planet". He's had these spots for the past 14 years, and the guy before him knew Abraham Lincoln. They are like Green Bay Packers tickets...

Early morning... coffee... cars hitting the track for warmup via scaffolding at Turn 4. There is no better vantagepoint on the track.
