That "driving technique" would be more at home at taledega with 200,000 drunk rednecks cheering but it doesn't belong in a sports car race.

I went to Sebring for my first time yesterday and I really though I would see a different type of race and people there, as opposed to Nascar. Here was my observations:
Nascar Parking: heavy traffic but people directing you all the way to your spot.
Sebring: Heavy traffic and people driecting you into the trackBUT after that your on your own. You basically drive aimlessly around until you find somewhere to squeeze in. It rained the night before so it mud was everywhere - Sucks!
Nascar Fans: Bunch or drunken rednecks - plenty of uglies but a lot of hot chicks as well.
Sebring: Bunch of drunken rednecks and the women were SOOO bad!!!
This by far was my biggest shock - there were just as many drunks and rebel flags than any Nascar race. No difference at all. The infield was completely trashed with nothing but beer cans and trash. I told my friend that it looked like a riot must have occured the night before! My fiends that had been there before said wait until tonight!!
Nascar Race: Left Left Left BUT you can watch them do it. Big screen TV's, Leaderboads that show 20 cars and PA seakers where you can hear MRN during cautions.
Sebring: Really close to the track and the cars sound wonderful! But all I could see was a couple hundred yards coming towards me and through the corner then they are gone. No loudspeaker broadcast no TV's. I did have a leaderboard that I could see so I knew who was leading but only 5 positions. It really sucked to watch a car and then...it would stop coming around and you never knew what happened. I guess it would be better on TV but no where near as nice to watch than Nascar.
Maybe I will try the Daytona 24 next year - that should be way better than Sebring. The only way I would go back to Sebring would be if I had Porsche parking passes.
