Default TWO reasons (some might say three) to visit Florida this March

First is Sebring, with the main "12 Hours" on St. Pat's (Saturday Mar 17) preceded by several days of other races, qualifying, drivers signing autographs, etc. Throughout, including Saturday, fans can view paddocks and garages in a way that few other venues allow, check out past winning cars on display, party, and hang out at the always outstanding Audi Corral, trackside at Turn 17 near the finish line: Big tent, TV with live race coverage, some refreshments, all free but Audis only; overnighting allowed. I've been four times and the sound alone is worth it (albeit probably too loud for young children). Then there's the big race, not to mention a huge party -- with many attractions near the Audi Corral & some adult areas for those who wander. And on the eve of the big race, time for some Audi parade laps reportedly set for Friday Mar 16, 6:35-7 p.m.

Did I mention they like to party? More info at sebringraceway.com or check the Florida site here for relevant threads.

Then, two weeks later, comes this -- Audi's R10 and the other ALMS cars on Saturday, followed by Indycars on Sunday, on the streets of downtown St. Pete!<ul><li><a href="http://www.gpstpete.com/schedule.cfm">http://www.gpstpete.com/schedule.cfm</a</li></ul>

Default Sebring is a heck of a party...if you do one event...THAT is the one to do...

plus...the Audi Corral is kick-azz. The Florida Chapter of ACNA puts on a good party
