Early tomorrow morning I'm driving south to Sebring, Florida for the 60th anniversary running of the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race. I've gone every year since 2000.
http://www.sebringraceway.com/ Someone needs to convince Ford of Australia to race Falcons at Sebring and LeMans! Sebring is a tremendous, bizarre party filled with some of the most exotic race cars in the world. In an odd way it has inspired me to attend the Bathurst 1000 this year.

Have fun, I went to the ALMS race at Adelaide back in 2000, too bad the prototypes haven't been back since.

Id love to go to a race at all the big tracks like Sebring. I got a little taste of it at the Bathurst 12 Hour in February.
Sadly we couldnt even get a falcon on the track for that one, let alone a Factory backed one. There has been a few privatly owned Holden Commodores race overseas in endurance races like Spa & Nurburing 24 hour |

Yeah... not really about FoA... but the teams themselves wanting to participate.
Try and get some snaps of the Nissan Deltawing. That thing is evil sex.

It was a great race this year, with perfect weather! I'll have some pictures posted, but it will be several days before I have time to do it.

I missed the DeltaWing's exhibition lap because I was brushing my teeth.
I think my friend took this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQUIk...WVvYAnGboJ3660=
