[DKWEST]

are these from the line outside the gate, or have they already let you guys into the zoo?

These are from the large field prior to the entrance of the gate.

These are from the large field prior to the entrance of the gate.

So the "Party Barge" unpack a pool table and tent and load it up and head to Sebring,..  then unload it and set it up while they're waiting for the gates to open,..  then pack it up,..  then set it up agin in the zoo,...   then pack it up again,...   then unload it back at home,..  and set it up again,..  All so people can shoot some pool and rock out while partying in the zoo for the 12 Hours?!?!?!? 


That's awesome!!

HUNDREDS OF SPECTATORS ALREADY IN LINE FOR SEBRING
Gates open at 6 a.m., March 17 for America’s greatest sports car race
 
More than 100 vehicles and 300 fans have been waiting for two weeks to enter Sebring.

Even though the gates don’t open for another week, more than 100 vehicles with nearly 300 spectators are already in line awaiting the 58th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida. At 6 a.m. local time on Wednesday, March 17th, spectators can enter the historic raceway in preparation for the 12-hour classic that starts at 10:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, March 20th. The opening race of the 2010 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón features the largest Sebring entry in four years.

Often called the “Woodstock of Auto Racing,” Sebring attracts tens of thousands of race fans from all over the world for America’s oldest sports car endurance race. Spectators began camping near the entrance of the raceway two weekends ago, and by the time gates open on March 17th, more than 4,000 fans are expected to be in line.

Fans annually line up to enter Sebring International Raceway before sunrise as the gates open Wednesday before the race.

SEBRING’S 2010 FAN OF THE YEAR: Congratulations to Jeff “Fuzzy” Callahan of Cape Coral, Fla., for being named 2010 Sebring “Fan of Year.” He has been a regular at Sebring for more than two decades, camping at Turn 13 with his friends and family. Fuzzy was nominated by friends and fellow Sebring fans, such as John Malloy. As John explains:

 
Jeff “Fuzzy” Callahan is the 2010 Sebring Fan of the Year.
 
 
“Fuzzy’s dedication to Sebring is unsurpassed. He always did this for his two children and for me and my sons. … Fuzzy has created an environment for us to spend the best quality time with our children for the four days each year, and as we have watched our kids grow up, Sebring has added many joyous moments in our lives. Our sons and daughters will carry the torch long after us since we are all hooked.”

Fuzzy has had some tough health issues to deal with recently, but he is well on the road to full recovery. His friends have all told us he is a true inspiration and a dedicated supporter of Sebring International Raceway.

The American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón will open its 12th season with America’s greatest sports car race, the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida from March 17-20.

I didn't know if Carl was bringing the old F-Troop bus or not this year as he's supposed to be staying in the hotel.  Looks like it's in line but at the gate?!  Maybe this photo was from last year.

For those that don't know this bus was orignally Carl's Dad's and when he passed Bob took it and it moved to the drive over bridge where many people remember it from.  Well Bob upgraded a few years back so the bus went Carl for the second generation to continue the tradition.

Hey Lori, YOU RULE! as of this moment, I am bowing in your general direction.
 I would like to request an overall picture of the entire holding area, if you would be so kind.
 See you all soon.
