Sebring: The First Decade
Many people have heard of the famous 12 Hours of Sebring, a once-around-the clock International Motorsports Association sports car endurance race. Drivers and cars from all over the world compete in different classes, pounding around a long, bumpy airport road circuit for a half day to see who can outlast the field and the clock.
Fewer people know how this race began. How it started on the runways and access roads of a decommissioned World War II bomber training facility, just outside a small central Florida town. This is the story of how amateur auto racers found a wonderful venue, and how the town grew to love a sport that was foreign to many. It is an unlikely chain of events that ended with one man's dream becoming a reality that springs to life on the third week of March each year.
