2011 Sebring Parade Lap ... Final Moments
Yesterday was the Corvette Parade Lap ... we got two laps, and I saw over 90 mph on the front and back straights ... fun time! 
Then, as I was coming down the back straight, I hear the ALMS cars preparing to come out onto the track.
Next thing I know ...

The parade lap is included in the Corral package ... in the past we were getting 3 - 4 laps, but then the last 2 years we were lucky to get 1 lap! 
So when they told us this year that we would be getting 2 laps, we all took full advantage!
I was VERY tempted to drop in behind the safety truck, then open her up down the front straight, but I really wanted to be able to attend the race today!
