    Photos: Sebring Classic Car Challenge + More, March 3-6 2016

    Update 4-14-2016: added 1 video. Will add 2-3 more soon. Link (http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...1&postcount=19)

    I was recently at Sebring International Raceway in hot-n-sunny Sebring, Florida, where a sun-and-father dynamic-duo dream-team, customers and friends of mine, Mike and Mike Clifford graciously invited me into pit lane with the race-team they work with, where they both imparted a vast amount of knowledge onto me about classic purpose-built race cars. The history was fascinating and it was even more fun to see these cars get used for their purpose.

    There were GT3, TransAm, a few different classic car groups, and classic TransAm cars (I'm sure I missed a few from the lineup).

    I should note that I have no idea what I'm doing with my D3200. My only two decent zoom lenses are manual focus, so a lot of what I got didn't turn out quite right. I brought along my condenser microphone as well and got some loud videos that I'll work on editing and uploading later.

                      Why old? :( Words can hurt.

                      And what you meant to say is you want to build a Ginetta G4 and piss off the 911 guys ;D Our drivers make a habit of it and it is glorious.

                          Mike, what were the final standings of all the drivers? I know Tom placed 1st in one race, but I wasn't sure about the others.

                            Tom finished first overall in both Group 8 races, as well as first in class and 5th overall in the 1-hour Saturday enduro. Hervey finished 7th overall and 4th in class in both races, though with completely different finishing orders. Both drivers improved their best-ever times repeatedly over the course of the weekend. Michael Oritt unfortunately had some issues with his G4 over the course of the weekend, but he's bringing the car to us next weekend so hopefully we can sort everything out for him before VIR.
