Sebring 12 Hour Race 2007 March 14-18
     
The paddock has many attractions and 3 main avenues parallel the main and back straights they separate. The first avenue directly behind the pits is for pedestrians only with food, book, racing school, club, clothing and souvenir vendors.  
This vendor on the corner near the pit lane sells incorrect Italian sausage. He claims Polish or Italian, however there is no Tomato sauce on the roll with the Peppers and worse, virtually no Fennell. Joe will not like these.  
     
This Ferrari caught fire out on the track and much of the rear body was toasted.  
     
The race team transporters are as colorful and bright as some of the race cars. Bright graphics everywhere's.  
     
A Viper on the hook back to the pits. I don't understand why they do so poorly against the Corvettes. Even the race Caddies beat them.  
     
This rear avenue lined with race teams is busy sun up to sun down.  
     
There were 15-20 MG's in the vintage events.  
     
I wanted one of these twin cam coupes before I drove my first Corvette (my 63 FI Split Window). Wow, what a difference in power.  
     
My wife was yelling encouragement to this Lady: Go Girl! On the track, I could tell she was having a ball in this "mans" world. Go Girl!  
     
All manner of 4 wheeled race cars in a constant stream from the paddock, to the pits, to qualifying, to tech inspection and finally to the race.  
     
This fellow was pumped after his run in the vintage race practice.  
     
Old race cars with a perdigree. Last week I read that Sebring signed a 10 year deal with the Skip Barber race school.  
     

  
     

  
     

  
     

  
     
This custom built exotic boasted a 10-60 MPH in 3+ seconds or so. We did not get to the price.  

  
     

  
     

  
     

  
     
I don't know what this was, but the eye candy was sweet.
