Sebring: The First Decade

Many people have heard of the famous 12 Hours of Sebring, a once-around-the clock International Motorsports Associationsports car endurance race. Drivers and cars from all over the world compete in different classes, pounding around a long, bumpy airportroad 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 bombertraining 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 areality that springs to life on the third week of March each year.
