I love watching archival footage like this, it's like a window back in time.

(Until the time machine is working, anyway.)

Love the diversity of cars on track!

Sebring is my favorite track I've raced on so it's really neat to see what it was like 60 years prior. Obviously I notice the difference in safety and runoffs, but also now there's more vegetation in the area which surprises me. I wonder if 17/17a was more or less bumpy back then?

I know the layout has definitely changed a lot over the years.

When was the last time they've paved Sebring?

That #37 is sexy!  I had to go look it up.  It was a Cunningham C-6R; wait, scratch that, it was >the< C-6R, as in the only one ever made.  It retired about halfway with gearbox failure.

In the case of the concrete straightaways.....1941.....which is what makes Sebring awesome smiley (and bumpy)
