Also keep an eye out for the SebringFans.com banners.
I will definitely be in your area. Are you there all 4 days? I think I'm going for 3 of 4. I drive back and forth from Pinellas. Though I do stay over Friday night into Saturday.

I'll be renting a super zoom lens to get some great up close shots. I'd be happy to give you any copies of what I take.

I have a Nikon 70-300 VR lens, but if I were to want even greater zoom where would someone go to rent a lens? And how much does it cost? I think that I can get close enough and using the 300 lens I should be more than ok, but for future shuttle launches and all.....

We'll be doing the Corral as well, not sure if I'm tea working this year, will have to wait and see.

Mean while doing the Daytona 24 for sure, and have for 40 straight years. Will not be doing Blackforest though. Never know until 24 hours before. Gotta check with Jimmy the Shoe.

Man, that's a deal right there. I might even do that. Would make the sebring experience a whole new adventure. Going to wait to see if I get photo creds again this year.

Can you effectively use something more than a 300 zoom? We can get right up to the wall so the zoom much beyond that seems excessive. Is there a benefit to having the 400 or 500 zoom?
