OK, well, it should be clear Sebring fell through because we never found any realistic lodging situation for all the out of towners. Luckily for us, they do TWO ALMS races in Florida, the second being the Streets of St. Pete race a few weeks later. There is also ample local accomodations (I'd love to base us at the Hard Rock nearby...parking garage, gambling, etc).
The bonus to this race is that it's just like the Detroit GP (and no that doesn't mean it's on an island where bodies float by periodically and girls in high heels ask if you're a cop before they pitch). It means you get not one, but TWO races. An American Le Mans race, with all that good stuff from Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, etc on Saturday, and an IRL race with the open wheel guys Sunday.
Bony, Camilo and I will be there. Can we make a weekend of this? I would love to bring Rich and Dennis and work on a few cars. I would also love to stop by Jason Heffner's shop to see all the Lambor...I mean Ford GT's and do a dyno day. The ticket prices are reasonable, and depending on the group size we could just grandstand it, get a catered rooftop chalet with grandstand seats to boot, or go nuts and get a start/finish suite (at a hefty price tag).
The only downside is there is no on-site parking like at Indy because it is a street circuit. To that I say, I can easily get us bused in and out a la the Newport Beach Yacht for a reasonable price.
Time is of the essence my friends. Let's do it! :cheers
If we can get 50 names up here in a week, we will buy the tickets ASAP, and I will hammer out dinners, dynos and drinks.
