Afternoon Guys,
Great Sebring anecdotes and pics by all. Steve, I'm still surfing through your catalog. To all those who weren't there, all of the pics were taken from the spectator areas.
No media creds needed to to get those beauties.
Just a thought, I know this is early days but if you boys enjoyed Sebring, you may want to think about catching the Petit Le Mans in October as well. Same fun loving, beer drinking, friendly envirement....and the views from the spectator enclosures are even better! The north Georgia autumn weather is usually lovely and Road Atlanta is just a brilliant circut, would probably remind alot of you of the GP circut at Brands Hatch. Probably some dirt cheap flights into Atlanta available this early. I know the Amercian CA crew would love to hang with you guys again in the fall.

Hi Fax,
Glad to of met you, sorry it was only a handshake and could not hang out longer with you and the Harper bros. I had a great time at Sebring it certainly is made for the spectator. As for your Petit LeMans offer I can`t answer for the rest of the CA gang, but I have already started planning with Pidge for 2006. Unfortunately the bank old account won`t support a third race week after Sebring and LeMans this year. Through the Pidge gang I have been updated on Road Atlanta and can hardly believe that there are even better spectator viewing areas than at Sebring....man are you guys got it good! I know it`s quite awhile away but the seed has been planted just needs some time to grow. See you then.

I decided on the flight home that I don't want to work any more, and I want to follow motor races and other exciting events all year instead. For some reason, Mrs S didn't fully agree. So, not for me. Not this year anyway  |

I was surprised by the Sebring Race. Looked really good from here. All together I'm still pretty new to this game, wait and see what PLM will bring. As I'm visiting Spa and LeMans this year (and the Masters in Holland), maybe I'll try Sebring or Petit next year. Don't really want to push my luck on the missus, she ain't too happy me arranging DfH anyway |

Do you think excessive motor racing viewing could be a reason for divorce?  However MrsUK hails from that side of the pond, so she might sanction a trip home via Georgia.  |

Do you think excessive motor racing viewing could be a reason for divorce? Oh yes, absolutely. Especially since I dared to take her to the French GP in '02, where she started to complain about the noise within half an hour after the start. Last week I took a subscribtion to MotorsTV, no sympathy there either  |

When I told Mrs S that I talked with Johnny H and Alan McN at last year's LM, she was keen to do the same. So I have arranged that we will go to pre-quals. So what happens? Little Johnny doesn't have a drive this year. And when I spoke to Alan on Saturday (....namedropping again....  ) he won't be there either... I offered her Stephan Ortelli or Ron Fellowes but she now thinks we should go someplace else for the pre-q weekend... |

How about Darren Turner or David Brabham as alternatives, both are really nice blokes. Turner is English and Brabs might as well be as he lives here.

Oh no, Smokie you have to go, if only to collect our tickets. Does Mrs S, not know of our deal. Brian. |
