[Edit] Sorry - didn't realize attachments weren't auto-downsized. As Sebring’s legendary 12-hour classic nears its 60th Anniversary celebration, a special commemorative poster has been produced showing all 59 winning cars from six decades of racing on the famous central Florida circuit.
“The 60 Years of Sebring” poster commemorates the 60th Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida, America’s greatest sports car race. Sebring opens the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship and the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patron on Saturday, March 17th.
Painted by artist Roger Warrick, the poster also shows the evolution of the famous Sebring pit structure from the first race in 1952. The circuit originated from a World War II USAAF training base known as Hendricks Field. Several B-17s are shown in the artwork, along with several other historical details.
This limited edition commemorative poster will go on sale in January. The official event poster will be released in February. Watch for details at sebringraceway.com. |

“As long as I’m CEO, danger will be an important element of this sport. When you sign up to be a racecar driver, you accept a responsibility for that danger. And if you don’t want to be a racecar driver because of danger, go find another profession.” — IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard, June 2011 http://sports.nationalpost.com/2011/10/17/dan-wheldons-death-casts-a-shadow-on-indycar/Those piles of garbage have sailed like kites since day one. Everyone knows it and they've done nothing to end it. In addition to their propensity for flight, there's a list of spinal injuries as long as your arm due to the rigid and tail-heavy design. As far as I'm concerned, the 'league' officials should be removed, if not prosecuted for gross negligence. Their ineptitude was astonishing this year, with oval racing in the rain, making rules on the fly and now this. It's infuriating. RIP Dan. |

Hey Deb, hope your feeling better. Didn't go, watched the highlights on TV, looked a better show than the train wreck of a Indycar race the next day on the same circuit.

You mean their attempted demolition derby between the racing cars and the safety truck? Idiots. |

Queen Street W, in front of Nathan Phillips Square. Just west of the old city hall building. Despite the appearance, it's likely you won't get food poisoning.  |

So if you've got a bike, or haven't got a bike but would have one if the missus would let you, why not post a pic of your scoot here? Bought in 1991. Stolen 4 months later w/1,100 miles on the clock. Wifey said I can get a new one when the house and all other bills are squared but she's doing her best to see that it never happens.  (Not mine, but exactly like it).  I do have a 80cc Honda scooter that won't start. Does that count? |

I'll wait in the Steamwhistle Brewery at the base of the tower.

^ I've never had a bigger/better free sample than what they give at Steam Whistle. Cool place. The snack shack just to the south of the CN Tower has great Poutine, too. Better than the famous blue truck, IMO. |

The YFDS contingent will be watching from a secret bunker along the shore of Lake Erie. Our whole group that attended LM last year -2 that can't make it. Certainly won't be the same on TV, and our hospitality program pales in comparison to that of Mark/JPChenet, but we'll do what we can. Enough beer and sleep deprivation and it'll seem like we're there again. Safe non-travels to all. |
