David
Is that one of Derhag's bodies or a new one from Kerry?

Good luck this weekend.
Wish I could be there but my wife wants me to attend her birthday party.

I heard that 73 cars started the race. True? That had to be wild.

The word in the Sebring vintage pits was that you can rent a T-A car for around $250,000 for the season. Does that sound right to you?

Looks amazing !!! just this morning as I was turning onto hwy27 I saw a truck pulling a trailer that was red/white& blue, and both had "SCCA Trans Am Racing" all over, I figured obviously it was coming from Sebring, now I know why.

I think 70 cars took the green flag, maybe 69.

$250,000 a year sounds a bit low. My budget is higher than that, and I'm not including amortization of the car.

I believe that number would be pretty close for a TA2 rental for the season (full arrive/drive package).
