I'm signed up for the event and hope we can get enough others to keep it going. I ran with the Speed Ventures group last year and had a blast!

The full course at Sebring is 3.7 miles and 18 or 19 turns. You park your car in the new pit area between runs. With a track this size there's lots of room and passing was only allowed on a couple of straights with a wave-by by the slower car. Therefore, no racing into corners and the danger of an accident.

Speed Ventures rents transponders,so after each run you see a print out of lap times. Mine from last year are still on their website. I averaged about 75 mph and was between 130 and 135 mph on the backstrech!

Other events at Sebring bring far more cars, sometimes to the short course, this is a great chance to run the full course with smaller groups. Please consider signing up and making this event happen. I would be happy to host a get together at my home near the track (20 minutes).
