Our student group will have a limited number of students per day – register early to guarantee a spot! Saturday evening - Join us for a BBQ evening in the “Officers Club” at Sebring International Raceway to benefit the West Sebring Volunteer Fire Department. Did you know that some of the support folks that take care of us out on the track are also volunteer firefighters? This is our chance to give back to them therefore all proceeds of the evening will go to them. Come on out, enjoy a meal and take in the history of the recently opened “Officers Club”, located in the last remaining building on Sebring International Raceway property on what was Hendricks Field, a World War II training base for B-17 bomber pilots and crews. Space is limited so please purchase your ticket at time of registration if you wish to attend. They'll be cooking for us and serving up burgers (meat and non-meat), chicken, sides, dessert and beverages. Event t-shirts – the new 2025 event t-shirt, as well as a remaining few of past years will be available online for you to select at time of registration.
