Sebring Pics - ALMS race (56k warning)

[AlienInv8r]

I skipped half the week of classes to head down to Sebring with some of my buddies in our car club. We had some torrential rains flood camp thursday night and friday afternoon, but it was still an awesome time. This was my 2nd trip to the race. I saw a caravan of MSPs and other mazdas coming in on friday afternoon, but never found where you all were parked to say hello.

Here's the link to a few of my favorite pics, out of the gazillion I took, heh:

Awesome pictures!! I thought someone said Aston Martin wasn't going to be there this year.

aston martin factory is not there, this is a privateer team from europe.

That was, but it kinda seemed shady...everyone is going to say he only won because of the contact.

 

[french02chris]

those 2 cars have been fighting all race long, they had another contact around 7-8 pm.

next year will be even better, as some more japanese marques will be coming back to the sportcar racing

Aston didnt have the factory team there this year, I assume they aren't competing since they are in the process of being sold. I wish they had the factory team there to put a little more competition in there for the Vette's. They had a pretty good fight last year.

And yeah, the GT2 ending was crazy. But the bump in the end was kinda lame imo, leave that for nascar. Fun day of racing though!

it might be the last year for the factory corvette also.

and rumors are that toyota will be coming back in the next 2 years (maybe next year actually)
