Jim--
I've run my Elva Courier for the last three years in the SVRA races, which
play a small part of the run-up to the Saturday 12-Hour event. Going to
Sebring is a pilgrimage for me too as I grew up in Miami and used to go there
in
the late 1950's and early 1960's. I plan to run again in 2009--my son met and
crewed for me last year and we'll probably do the same thing this year as
well.
There really are no seats at Sebring except over the covered pits, but your
entry will gain you access to virtually everywhere in the paddock, infield,
etc. There are bleachers and raised "observation mounds" scattered about the
track and sightlines are good just about everywhere.
Plan on doing a lot of walking as there is lots to see--Sebring is like a
gigantic State Fair and many people just go there not so much to watch the
racing as to build plywood structures, sit on trashy couches and drink the
week
away. The spectators are as much a part of the show as is the racing. This
is central Florida but a far cry from Orlando!
Make your room reservations early--there is a shortage of accomodations.
Best--Michael Oritt
