Sebring '11: Who's in?

[smokie]

I'm 99% not likely - first year I won't have been in Florida at race weekend since 2002, even though my Sebring attendance has become somewhat patchy.

I'm having to keep the decks clear just in case I land a job.

If it gets near to the time and there seems to be no prospect then the 1% may come into play.

[Dave H]

It's game on from Indy.  Will be Thundering down I65 and then I75 on Thursday - early, so it looks like we'll be leaving ahead of you Fax (no need to check mirrors for silver Panzer Tank coming up on you moderately above the speed limit).  Traveling down with Alex, my brother-in-law who's attended about 35 consecutive Indy 500s but never been to a road circuit.  What a treat he has in store.  Will arrive at the track Thurs evening and fishtail outta there early Sunday.  Can't frickin' wait!!

[Boorish Grobian]

It'll be great to see you Dave (and Matt & Seth of course), its been one bitch of a long, cold, snowy winter up here hasn't it?  It'll be fantastic to see Alex again after all these years, he's in for a real eye opener, Turn 10 is definitely not the Coke lot at IMS.  We're heading down on Sunday the 13th, but making the rounds of the retired, snow-bird Aunts & Uncles in Florida (Tampa & Naples respectively) before heading to Sebring. We'll be thumping up from Naples bright & early Friday morning, and heading straight for the Turn-10 area.

It's been a nasty winter for Texas with the snow and ice as well AND some cold weather for Florida could still be in play mid-March.  My advice, be prepared just in case.  Bring the long johns and something warm to sleep in.  Canada Phil should be able to give some good advice on how to prepare even if it is Florida.  Have fun folks, sorry I won't be there.

Hi John,
             sorry to hear you are not able to make it. Just send the Deer sausage then
I expect it will have warmed up by March though one should always be prepared for unseasonal weather at any race track.

I won't make it this year.  First miss since 2003. 

[goodduck]

anyone want to give me a ride from DC? my poor old volvo will never make it.

[Werner]

I might be on one of my regular business trips to Detroit in that timeframe - which would be a complete coincidence then, of course

But even if this works out it will be a Friday evening - Sunday noon then only - I'll know a couple of days before. What's the best way to catch up with CA/Turn 10 folks when arriving late Friday evening, say after 10:00 pm?

[knetter]

No problem Werner, just show up for the slide show and let Woolly know you are coming!

Meet me in Orlando airport and rent a shitbox Dodge?

Sounds like a plan - let's stay in touch

Slide show Woolly

[knetter]

Turn 10 always has the Lee's infamous slide show on the friday night and Woolly (brethren) is going to be there this year. You could go to www.sebringfans.com and log on and get in touch with the amazing randy, I am sure he can set you up with a tent, matras and sleeping bag. Or I could ask Clay to bring my tent, which you could use for the duration of your stay.
