The V8 StockCar road racing series kicks off its' 2008 season February 23 and 24 at Sebring International, running with the Central Florida Region SCCA on the challenging, historic 12 hour circuit. In 2008 V8 StockCar celebrates five years of bringing tube frame V8 thunder to North America's finest road courses.
With three great classes and some thirty talented racers piloting the pavement ripping, ground pounding beasts, the excitement will be non stop. The fastest cars can top 170 mph down Sebrings 2600 foot long backstraight before going under hard braking to manage "sunset bend."
Some of the "hot shoes" expected include:
