We are pleased to have the Alan Jay Automotive Network as presenting sponsor for this unique event, stated Sebring Raceway Director Tres Stephenson. The Alan Jay name is well-known and respected throughout Sebring, Highlands County and central Florida, and we look forward to this association with Alan Jay. The Sebring Speedfest Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network will offer something for everyone. In addition to several different racing events, highlighted by the appearance of late model stock cars, race fans will be able to purchase hot laps in a Panoz GT-RA sports car. The two-day event will also include a Saturday evening concert.
Camping is available.
Gates open Friday, September 28, at noon for overnight campers. The first 12 Hours of Sebring was held in 1952, and has taken place every Spring since then with the exception of 1974. Several special events commemorating the Golden Anniversary of America's premier sports car race are planned over a two month period prior to the race, including a Hall of Fame Luncheon and Charity Auction, Legends of Sebring Autograph Session, Golf and Tennis Tournament, Fashion Show and a special Sebring Memorabilia Display. The car is appropriately number 50 and includes gold trim and the 50th Anniversary logo. The excitement is already building, and we anticipate the Golden Anniversary edition of the 12 hours will be the biggest and best ever.
