Bryan, I'M IN!!!! I will be arriving on Thursday. I will be in Fort Walton Beach the weekend before at a Trans Am car show then working my way to Sebring making sales call along the way(of course). I was hoping to take Skips certification class but it had to be canceled due to Bob Blizzards schedule.

SEE YOU THERE,
Steve

I was hoping to come, but Miller Motorsports Park, the new 4.6 mile track in Utah, opened up a test day for the Speed World Challenge teams on the Monday and Tuesday following the Sebring Viperdays event. We really need to go there to get some time on that track before our race in July. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to seeing everyone at Sebring. The next Viperdays event we'll be shooting for is Mid Ohio in June. I'm not sure if we can make it but we'll certainly try. I'll be driving brand X, but there's still nothing like Viperdays!

Four questions:

Where is Sebring?

Is this a drag racing event?

Any spots left for rookies?

What's this about a pumpkin?

I saved all my pennies since TWS last year for another run at turn 17. I might finish a little higher in the order this year, maybe. Sorry to say Rich and Ben will not make it. Eyal's wife just had a baby boy and will miss the event as well. See you soon.

Looks like the usual suspects again.
Sonny, good luck at MMP. You will be missed.
Steve, I don't know if Ray can afford another turbo for his powestroke this year :D

Depending on how busy they are it can be done within an hour or for sure over night. If you get there Friday afternoon and want new tires for Saturday morning that is never a problem. Just make sure you let Bobby know you need tires before you get there, tomorrow is the cut off date for ordering tires from Bobby Archer. His number is 817-877-1772

Tomcat - sorry you'll have to find sparring partner! We had fun last year huh?

I was at Sebring in January and Turn 17 was different yet again. It took some getting used to, but we were turning in before braking!

Hope to see you at the track soon,
Rich

I'll be riding shotgun with Ray in the Superduty and have been banned from driving through Georgia. The turbo should make it the whole way. (fingers crossed) I am concerned about the heat effects of the stroker kit just installed on the yellow bomb though. Will be interesting to see what another 125HP will do on those long straights.
