You picked a great one for your first race! There will be 5 Corvettes in GT @ Sebring. Hopefully we'll see you there.

There will be two private teams with three Corvettes. Two of them will be former P&M C6Rs & one Riley Corvette. I will see if I can find more info.

The 2 P&M C6R's are most likely last season's factory cars, and I believe will be fielded by Luc Alphand Racing from France, they've successfully campaigned the GT1 cars the past few seasons with tech assistance from Team Corvette. As far as I know the only existing Riley Corvette GT2 is the #28 LG Motorsports car owned by Lou Gigliotti, But last I knew Lou wasn't racing in GT2 this season, possibly in GrandAm GT class. The #28 just did a stint on display at the Corvette Museum. Looking forward to the race, and some warm weather, I need to get away from this damn snow!

I believe I ran into the Luc Alphand group at Citywalk a couple weeks ago. All were in their C6R regalia and just hanging out having a few.

I'm not 100% sure they're the team, but they are the most likely candidates, they've bought previous Team Corvette GT1 cars and run them with great success in Europe, with tech assistance from Pratt&Miller. Luc Alphand is like an icon in France, he is a former Olympic ski champion, now running a very successful tour/vacation business, Luc Alphand Adventures. Turns out he's a pretty fair race driver as well. Very good privateer team, it will be interesting, GT2 is absolutely brutal this year. I look for major improvement from Paul Gentilozzi's Jaguars, and the addition of Anthony Lazzaro to the Robinson Racing Ford makes them a legitimate threat as well, not to mention the Flying Lizard Porsche, the Rahal-Letterman BMW's, and the new Ferraris. Looking forward to some WARM weather and great racing.

I'll be at our usual spot on the outside of Turn 1. Look for the LSU and Jake flags. Also keep an eye out for the sebringfans.com truck, sporting Jake logos as well! We'll have three corvette owners at our RV, Donnie, Mike, and myself, Eric.

This will be our first trip of any length, with the C6, so we did a trial fit of all that we want to bring on the trip. It all fit. I was a little worried because the C6 is a little smaller than our C5 was. So we are almost ready to leave. I wanted to leave today but we are going to be away from home for 5 weeks on this trip as it is, so I guess that is enough.

We will be at a condo in Kissimmee until the 25th and then we go to Weston Florida for a week, from there we found a time share condo on the beach in Pompano for $270 a week. We head north to South Carolina (Edisto Island) meet up with Sherrie's aunt for a week. Home after that.

Did I tell you we like Time Shares?

Where are you now? Are you still in Wis?
