Sweet, I imagine you had some media pass for some of the pitlane shots (Abruzzi)? I bet it was an awesome experience being at sebring.

The final picture with the winners of each class under the lights of the paddock... pretty cool.

Awesome pics... besides the C6, love the Audi bus and Panoz, which looks like it was designed by Steven Speilberg...

The Panoz started in pit lane for some reason and was there for the open grid session before the race. It's open for everyone to walk around and view the cars up close before the start of the race.

Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn't be there (and were cursed with SPEED not having the coverage this year).

...and also for the Falken girl pics!

Almost near the end of the race I saw it make one lap
I went over to see the car because I noticed it wasn't
on the track , the guy said something about a broken flywheel.

I think it was something worse, they had the engine crane from the
Corvette team and a open engine crate ...too bad... the car is
beautiful.
