"The Plan" has changed....

We're gettin' an RV!  



After much thought and deliberation - we decided to rent an RV.  And you know what?  It's only a few feet longer than my truck - LOL!  I'm thinking I should drive :)

The plan

Well we are planning our first trip to the 12 Hours of Sebring this year, and we plan on camping for three nights in Green Park.

I haven't tent camped in 15+ years - ugh!!  However, come to find out, they make Truck Tents. Yes, that's right, tents that convert the bed of your pickup truck into a warm and cozy living space.   I figure if I drink enough, it really shouldn't matter, right?  LOL!!  Here is a pic of the tent we have decided on:


I drive an F150 SuperCrew, so I'm thinking this will be fine - we will have 6 and half feet of leg room, and we will be up off the ground as well.  

So along with this, an air mattress, some food, a grill, clothes, and 8 coolers filled with beer - I think we are all set.

Feel free to weigh in.

The Basics - LMPC2



Not to further confuse the casual race fan, however there is an additional LMP class, the LMPC2

  • Intended especially for Privateers or not directly supported by automobile manufacturer (Highcroft, Muscle Milk &  Dyson )
  • Lighter and less powerful than the LMP1's
  • Open or closed cockpit
  • The headlights are white
  • The numbers on the cars are 25-49
  • The Category sticker is blue.

The Basics - LMPC1



In case the description of the car classes was too involved, here is a short list of the things we'll be able to tell the difference of while watching the cars go by.


The Basics - Different Car Classes



It might important to know the different Classes of Cars that we'll be watching this year (there is a race after all!). Here is the link that describes the different types.
