Last year was my first time, got there late Friday night.
Paid for my ticket and drove through the gate and I thought to
myself, what the heck am I getting into...
Asked the guy where can I camp, "anywhere you can find a spot...."
Didnt get to sleep until 4am, and slept a little too late ended up in a 2 hour line for a shower.. it was also in the 40's that night.
Advice, 1 get up earlier then everone else and get your shower.... 2 get up earlier then everone else....on Sunday morning and get the heck outta there before everyone else :-)
Going to try to go again this year. I know a little more of what to expect.
Two weeks ago I was up there and it was 39 degrees....

Registered on this forum (as a guy who hasn't had a corvette in years) just to say that I scoured the internet for good Sebring first-timer advice and this was the best thread around.
I'll be getting to the track Friday night with nothing but a rental car, a few spare clothes, and a prayer... this is gonna be interesting.
