Wow!  Great find, Doc!  Last March's race (the 59th) was my first and I had the dubious honor of meeting everyone listed  in the article except for Norm (RIP, and I think they misspelled his last name).

And the race cars.  And the sounds.  And the Friday pit walk.  Turn 10!  F-troop, Racing Flamingos, Dodge City, Party Barge, Le Man's Curve Compound, Le Maison, and so many more!

Mike, Donna... I didn't know you had you wedding/reception at the track?!  And I would have given anything to see the Guvnah in a guerilla suit!

And so I will return next March.  And the next March.  And every single March thereafter.  My walls are adorned with posters, my keys accompanied with a Turn 10/Norm keychain, my car and refrigerator with stickers, and my soul filled with life-changing memories.  All from one weekend in March 2011. 

Not an hour of the day goes by that I don't think about Sebring.  Thanks to all who have made it possible!

See you next March!  -Magic Mike

Elwood lookalike and best-man, The Amazing Randy, came here first in 1982 and spent four years co-driving with the bridegroom in "stock" Chevies on local oval circles; they joined the autograph parade as Team Impala, with their own team pics.

Just to be clear Randy provided his own hat but I provided the "Groucho" glasses for the masses to protect "the innocent" and YEP that's me in the Pink wig and Fay Raye dress as "Made of Honour?"......you HAD to be there!
