I was fortunate enough to be asked to be a driver in the chumcar race at the famous Sebring road course. We went down on Wens night. Made some adjustments on thursday to the 72 super beetle I was going to be driving. Friday got into the famous track. it was awesome to see all the things I have only seen on tv. got the car through tech and went through the drivers meeting. Sat. inally came and we pushed the car to the line up. We started @40 with over 70 cars in the race. The owner of the car was driving the first 2 hours with me going in the car next. after 2 parade laps, 8 cars were out. Then the green flag. our car along with 2 more beetles dropped to the rear. On lap 3 the cooling fan exploded taking the oil cooler and breaking one of the intakes for the carbs. we were done way too early for a 14 hour race.

I enjoyed it. it was an expereince of a lie time. looking forward to next year.
