LOL, lightweight, is that all you are hording? Yesterday I compiled the best non chump cans I have, filled 55gal with super 93 in vague hope it will start our Sebring race stash, if Irma comes near the genny is getting the good stuff! 75+ gal more in tattered cans kicking around just waiting to be filled with super low test 87 if things go bad ...15k 30hp whole house power unit is thirsty At least this is keeping me occupied and focused away from the other family things going on.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintodave Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I figured it was a start, we have a touch more breathing room up here than you guys, it's going to be an interesting 72 hours... my friend works for Broward water mgmt, he can't leave even if he wants to The reactions between Hurricane Matthew and now are interesting to watch - people went from zero poops given to 200mph with this one... already gas stations up by us running out of gas between deliveries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilwheel Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yeah, this one doesn't look good no matter where you live. I was on the good side of Hurricane Charlie when it went thru, don't want to do that again ! GL to all ! And SEBRING ! WHOOT ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track is helping the airport currently. They'll probably loose some signage etc... Hotel could be in some trouble. Who knows how well they stay on top of the upkeep on it. We're about to find out as they will be seeing sustained 100+ mph winds at the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoneyWasters Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 No gas available in Sebring currently. No sure it will be different in 10 days. Any word on whether this race will be held? Hotels survive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintodave Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 We are going to call the hotel most likely tomorrow and see what's up. Ed is right, they'll be rolling the gas trucks through asap. If not, it will be the slowest Chumpcar field on record as everyone tries to conserve gas Guess the Floridians have the advantage with that genny gas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lof8 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I hear Sebring is pretty banged up. Any ruling on whether this race is still going to happen or be rescheduled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyontheducky Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) I NEED A RIDE! Team owner suffered some damage to his propertie(s) and cant make the race. I have Chateau rooms to sweeten the pot Their power is out, but structurally sound. Edited September 13, 2017 by Luckyontheducky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMoneyWasters Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 It doesn't feel very warm and fuzzy to be worried about racing when people are without homes, or at least power for days/weeks/months. UGGGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGGGH Agree to a extent as some of those ppl may be employees @ the track, we are supporting them and the local economy. Fl is all about the tourists and most all of them have fled, normalcy will return , is welcomed and in this case, a race @ Sebring is normal.

Philippe Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I just posted this in the Irma thread, but I want all the teams from outside Florida to read this: The only real problem here is the lack of power! Florida is NOT devastated! I'm really tired of the media trying to make everything sounds sensational! "Mobile homes are shredded like cans..." I'm sorry, but those people should have read the story of the 3 little pigs when they were kids! "Irma's death toll is climbing to 20..." I feel sorry for the victims, but let's look at the causes of death: 6 died "forgotten" in a nursing home, 2 were killed by a tree they were cutting, 1 by his chainsaw, 3 in a car wreck at an intersection with the lights down, another lost the control of his car aquaplaning, another was electrocuted by downed power lines..." Sad, but not due to to the strenght of Irma! In the Tampa area, most stores are already reopened, my kids schools were supposed to reopen tomorrow, but because of some lack of power they'll reopen on Monday. Teco announced that most of its customers will have power by the end of the weekend. I'm really confident life will be back to very close to normal next week... As long as the track at Sebring has power, WE CAN RACE!!!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csadn Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 One wonders if there might be something charitable Chumps could do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 How about we pass the hat for the Red Cross at the event, or something else like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I already had a pretty cool charity thing setup at the race with Mikes blessing. This was before the storm and is for the local Salvation Army. You won't miss it. When are we getting pit and garage assignments btw? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintodave Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Don't forget the 4 add'l casualties of people running flipping generators in their house. W.T.F. folks. Same thing happened during Matthew. Anyways, this is the Sebring thread, lets race! If the hotel is structurally sound that is awesome news, the track is semi-remote but next to the airport and commercial property, so I'd like to think they'd have power in a week.

Snorman Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Just want to point out...2 days ago it was "armageddon" in central Florida. Tonight we were at Disney Springs for dinner, all of the gas stations around here are open and things are about 95% back to normal. In 10-days I'm sure Sebring will be fine.
