I'll be at Sebring, but I won't be in the corral, or have one of my Corvettes there. I'll be crewing for a friend all weekend. We come to the Sebring SVRA vintage/Trans Am weekend, just about every year. It's a good excuse to get away from the snow and cold in the Northeast.
Our plan is to run the red 65 below. We put a new engine in last fall, but it only ran 2 hours before developing a coolant leak. Turned out the machine shop got a little carried away, porting one of the heads. The engine's going back together right now, and if everything's good, we'll be taking the 65. If not, we'll be bringing a yellow 71 instead (yes, it has 68-69 fender louvers).
If you're wandering the paddock and see us, stop by and say hello!

This shot was taken at Sebring when we had the 71 there in 2019.
I spoke with Jim yesterday (the racer I crew for), and he tells me the 65's engine is back together and in the car. He said it sounds good and there were no leaks. The car's in the trailer and he'll be leaving upstate NY Monday (my wife and I have been in FL for a week already), so look for the red 65.
I spoke with a friend a couple days ago who winters in Bradenton, he told me he's signed up for Saturday at Sebring. I'm not sure what year Corvette he keeps here, but I'm pretty sure it's a C6.
I gave my dad the choice of doing this Saturday or attending the last day of the NCRS Winter Regional Meet on the Sun n Fun grounds in Lakeland. Looks like I will be going through piles of people's junk looking for those 2 parts I need.
