The Mitty is great fun. The weather is normally good, but it can be wet. It
will probably be crowded in the pit and on the track. The groups for the
"non golden chariots" can be very large, but this becomeing the norm with
HSR. I believe there were 60+ cars in group 2 at Sebring. If you have never
driven RA there is a pretty good video available from the pro shop at the
track that explains the line. I understand that the new owners have already
made some improvements.
See you there
