[Fot] Planning for Triumphs and Personnel with Sebring History

[John Styduhar]

I'm a little confused about which Sebring 12 Hours we are talking about.
>From what I've seen on the internet, HSR is putting on the Sebring
Historics which is from Nov. 30-Dec. 4, 2016.  The contemporary 12 Hours of
Sebring is in mid March 2017.
So which one will the TRs be at?
