i agree with Capt on this one. It really does get CRAZY in the green area. I've seen some really bad stuff going on there ... and definitely not a 'car friendly' environment. If you do go do NOT park in the green area. If you are bringing the S or anything 'nice' i suggest parking in the 'general' parking area and walking in. It is a great race to walk the fence and get some really great shots.


Another thing ... this is not a very 'kid friendly' event either. I remember seeing more than one camp-site that literally had pornographic material pasted on the entire outside of the tent/RV. They are marketing this to the Spring Breakers and are catering it that way as well.

I don't think i'll be going ... but, if my buddy has extra credentials for the Acura race team ... i'll be there fo sho

Yeah we want to camp but I'm not to fond of how rowdy the crowd can be.....I'm on the fence to whether or no we will be camping there but I know we'll be there for thurds-sat even if we drive back and fourth every day

As much as i enjoy the track of Sebring (and the different types of cars ... LMP's mmmm) it is the type of spectators/party'ers that keeps me away. That is one of the reasons why i enjoy the Rolex 24 at Daytona so much. You can drive the S2000 around without having to worry (well ... MUCH less anyway) about being a target for bottle-rocket mortars, running over TONS of broken glass, or getting stuck in a mud-hole

And if you don't/can't camp there ... getting a decent hotel room for under $100 is nearly impossible.
