Man I get a reality check every time I go back to the past (raced Sebring 13 years straight in many different divisions).
The HRS cars were perfectly restored (from Bug Eyed Sprite to F1 Cars, NASCARS, Trans Am to 935 Slant Nose Porsches), but you can get a 904 Porsche kit cars for $250,000.00 (and that no spares). And the Porsche Cups (had a couple of red flags the racing was door to door at $200,000.00). The Mazda Spec class gave the new comers a place to get into Proto Type cars ($150,000.00 just for the cars). A new turn key Viper $497,000.00 (again without a spare), but you to could get into the game. Saw a lot of old friends and got some good laughs.
The Continental Tire cars were also AWSOME (again red flags flew). All in all I wish I could of gone back on Saturday, family plans come first. The ticket we had (two of them) cost $139.00 each for paddock access with parking pass $50.00 value. Sorry I really wanted send a Stock Fan to the race (Matt you could of given a first time view of 100,000+ other Fans enjoying a Motor Sports happening).
Maybe next time. Next week going to St. Pete Grand Prix. Going Saturday and then on to Show Time to help Jason Lester #7 going for the 2015 points!!!
Old Farts just enjoying racing from all angles.
