General Info for Sebring (including Registration links)

[Butch Kummer]

This event is an SCCA Hoosier Super Tour (Majors) held in conjunction with the Central Florida Region SCCA, and will be open to SCCA Majors classes only. This means our GTA, GTSC, ITO, and SPO cars will need to enter in GT1 or GT2 for SCCA purposes, and we'll keep V8RRS by WCIParts.com points separately.

[Butch Kummer]

Registration is now open for the Sebring weekend at www.DLBRacing.com. Make sure you're looking at 2017 when you check it out.

Yes, DLB is different (and more cumbersome) than most of the events we run, but here's the direct link to register:

I'm sure Vern will post here with more info regarding accommodations, the V8RRS Compound in the paddock, and any plans for a get together over the weekend.

This race (Sebring January 13-15) is now about five weeks away so it's reasonable to assume that anyone with serious intentions of entering will know it by now. I would like to know if any of the participants or lurkers on this forum intent to enter this event. Setting up social events is not very difficult but anticipating participation is.

I "plan" on racing then.

As Butch as pointed out registration is open at DLB. The track has scheduled a test day for Thursday. According to the Sebring folks you will be able to enter he track Wednesday afternoon at five PM, after signing up for the test day. If you do not sign up for the test day ($275.00) you will not be able to enter the track until Thursday at five. Shore power hook ups are not plentiful at Sebring so if you need shore power you better be in line at the track office well before five PM on Wednesday.
