Default Questions- Sebring Paddock for Track Day Weekend

Headed to FL for my first visit to Sebring with Chin Motorsports.

What is the best place to paddock?

Park your trailer and hook up to power?

I've heard about garages close to pit lane that are first-come-first-served.

What experiences do people have to share on how to set up there?

Thanks, GO BLUE!

Take a look on google maps.

The concrete trailer paddock is that huge lot between the tower complex and the back straight.
There are just a few electrical hookups.

Many people park on the grass just to the south SE of the tower.

The pits under the complex next to pit lane are first come first serve or $$pre reserved depending on organization.

My recollection is that there are no (or few) utilitiy hookups in the RV parking on the hot pit side of the front straight.
However, there are LOTS of full utility hookups (power and water) across from the pit garages in the spectator parking lot, with a pedestrian bridge over to the hot pit side.

Garages fill up fast usually full by Friday night.They provide shade but are very loud. I attend several Chin events there annually, with a trailer I prefer the paved paddock. Power outlets are limited in paddock. Sebring is a great track. Chin puts on well run events. Enjoy!

Another vote for the concrete area. Try to locate an electrical outlet before you part. Not every location has them.

You might also consider bringing a bike. That will allow you to get around a lot easier and quicker.

I've been there with NASA 4 times. If you want to be cooler, stalls from 1952-1969 only have a 4' concrete wall with fence the rest of the way up where the rest of the stalls have full block walls all the way up. I just found it nice to have the breeze.
I park the truck/trailer in the grass right behind there and just walk on in at the breezeway next to 1969 stall. There are multiple electric poles in the grass area. I think they are only 30 Amp but have their own breaker panels. They are about 40' apart or so. We can park an RV and my truck/trailer between two poles. No RV full hook up in that area but it is good for electric.
