Sebring 2020!
Okay, time to start a dedicated thread for Sebring 2020. Super Sebring, WEC and IMSA 2.0
Last year I hosted several folks from outside the states, 2 Brits (one of them puked all over Sebring, sorry about that), 2 Dutch (they were very well behaved), 1 Aussie (he will be missed this year, his Australian jet fuel whiskey from hell will not), and 1 Romanian.
Fun was had by all. Really too much fun. Many new friends were made, and people became fans of Sebring for life.
The two Brits will be returning again this year (can you believe it's actually cheaper for them to fly to the US and camp at Sebring than camping at Le Mans???!!!), bringing another new Brit with them. Our Romanian friend is also returning. Like I said, they had such a good time they committed to coming again this year within weeks of last.
Also new to attend with my crew will be three of my cousins, one flying in from San Diego. Feel free to give this guy grief for the following. In 2015 I was going to Le Mans (my third time there). When he heard I was going to France he asked if he could tag along as he'd never been outside North America. This guy goes to Le Mans with me for a day of scrutineering. But then leaves the Wednesday of race week to chase skirt in Germany, because watching cars for 24 hours would be "boring". Well, he deserves a bunch of grief for that, but he's certainly not going to see boring at Sebring!
We'll be in our regular spot just by the restrooms on the inside of turn 7. For sure though we'll be making regular stops at Scotty P's site as well. This time we'll be sure to bring more beverages to share as I worry we drank much of their stash last year. I did mention my concern to the more coherent of our group and they reminded me (it was Sebring, don't expect me to remember this stuff) that we had brought stuff to share, David with a very tasty brandy (I think that's what it was), and William with the aforementioned nasty jet fuel. But anyhow, we'll step up our game this year.
Tickets arrived last week. Super pumped!
Who else is coming and excited???
Feel free to ask any questions here, you'll be sure to get an answer.
