Ok now,
I don't mind stepping on the beer bottles and cans, the old uneaten pasta just thrown in the grass, or even some old stale half eaten hamburger.............But can you imagine walking around about 2am on Friday night half hammered and stepping in a huge WARM fresh pile of crap the size of a frisbee that these monsters drop out?

Pasta Salad and memories ... OMG...
Years and years ago, went to Sebring with a buddy... took a cooler, actually several coolers, one for food the rest for beer. The end of the weekend all the beer was gone, but some food remained, left the food in the cooler and drove back home to St. Pete Beach. That would have been about '72? '73? Anyway, put the coolers in the garage, they got covered up, didn't think any more of it... Moved into an apartment with some friends that had larger coolers, when we went to Sebring the following years we used their coolers...
Joined the Navy in '79, wasn't able to make it to Sebring for a few years ... in '84 took leave just to come home for Sebring. Went to my Grandmothers house in St. Pete Beach, and she said I could use some of her coolers, but be careful getting them out of the garage, the place smelled funny and she thought something may have crawled into that corner of the garage and died ... anyone see where this is going yet?
Pulled out the cooler that was last used about '72 and had been sitting, unopened, in a garage in St. Pete Beach, Florida since then... Opened the cooler and was physically hit in the face with the aroma of potato and macaroni salad that had been sitting for over 10 years! My nose hairs are curling just thinking of it... my sister was in the garage, I heard a gag, she took two steps and blew chunks all over Nan's car... she couldn't eat for two days. Nan almost fainted from the smell, had to be helped back into the house. Neighbors two doors down said they could smell something, thought their sewer was backing up. The garbage men wouldn't empty the can the 'stuff' was thrown in, they threatened to call the police thinking we were disposing of bodies, I had to put it in the trunk of my car and take it to the dump... It was a month before the smell was entirely gone from the garage...
I've never eaten any type of pasta salad at Sebring since...
Cheers,

I was chatting with my buddy a few weeks ago and he said he had connections with a Budweiser distributor and wondered if he could get some Sebring tix out of him. I told him I didn't think Bud was a sponsor. This is good news!

You've only got to spend 5 minutes on sebringfans.com to realize that, while many of them may be knowledgeable fans, this race is mostly a drinking binge with some noisy cars in the background.
The focus (on that site) on alcohol consumption is really kind of depressing. I'm kind of amazed (and disappointed) that track management doesn't do anything to try and go a bit more upmarket.
If I wanted to hang with drunken louts I'd go to a British premier league game.

actually...... what was that brand of cooler? It was a Coleman, one of the older ones with the metal exterior, and a door latch that you flipped to keep it closed. Nothing like the plastic ones that they make now that never seem to close entirely. I have one (a different one, the one from Nan's garage was thrown out!) now, it will keep ice for three days outside in 85 degree weather. THAT is a Sebring cooler! Cheers, |

That's one of the funniest things I've read in quite a while. I thought I was going to fall out of my chair I was laughing so hard. |

alright Scott, I guess i'll throw in my own compliments to your amazing story-telling abailities. That was one of the most disgustingly humorous i have ever heard. I nearly retched, because i too could just imagine the smell. Ten years?!?! I just can't belive that. And yet, i can picture the same thing happening to me. luckily it hasnt' yet. but hey, maybe five years from now, i'll find somehting from 5 years ago and i'll be eating my own words. If it's anything lie yours, thats' about all i'll be eating too

...Laughed so hard people at work had to come in and see what I was looking at.
"What the hell is this Sebring thing?" they ask.
And so it begins.
Forward. NEVER straight....
