I've been doing Sebring for a while now, Miatas and my last 987.1 S. I ran Road Atlanta with the BMW club when I lived up that way. Sebring, for me, is kind of hallowed ground with all the legends that have raced there.

I was at Sebring for two-days w/Chin a bunch of years ago and loved it once I got it figured out enough to enjoy the laps. A friend of someone I knew from down there, Greg M. a former tennis pro, rode laps with me pointing out lines and corresponding visuals. What a difference it made. He lived very near the track and told me he had in excess of 10,000 laps at Sebring. He knew the track well to say the least and was super nice - I was quite fortunate! That was around 10-years ago.

I always wanted to go back but it's a haul and I kind of like staying closer to home nowadays.

Looking at the schedule the next track day for me is looking like the first weekend of November. We take the summer off here in Phoenix!

I took a few pics checking for storm damage on my driveway. It was a nice day in the Smokies of NC.

Spent everyday driving it since picking it up early Wednesday evening at Porsche of Omaha. Just under 450 break in miles and the machine is bizarre , because varying the speed dramatically, constantly going through the gears in the city and on the highway and I am averaging 27.2 miles per gallon --- simply nuts! Did not buy the little crocodile for gas mileage , but it is showing me it has some teeth in running economically.

Great picture in the gorgeous trees! The serene atmosphere, the reflections, the white color - all works magnificently. :thumbup:

I think you've just triggered a possible personalized plate for my GT4. Kind of corny but how about BABCROC - :lol:

I might do it - it reads as "Bab" rather than "Baby" but who cares - I'd know!

I thought about that also , so Lilcroc was my idea, along with :

7One8
Seven18
Tnycroc
Reptile
Kmanja ---would cause plenty of comments, but it is just Cayman Ja ( bit of Deutsch humor )
ITBITES

GeeTee4 --- for yours but it might confuse all those Golfers!

I have another zillion of them as I used to give my customers ideas on plates for 20+ years. My Viper reads, " BaddAsp "
