Description: PLEASE SUPPORT INDEPENDENT authors/publishers! The true story of the incredible 1983 12 Hours of Sebring, one of the greatest upsets in endurance racing history. 144 pages, 80+ color photos, softcover, 9 x 6 inches. All books signed by author Ken Breslauer, Sebring Media Relations Director and Track Historian for over 30 years. The book begins with a history of the town of Sebring, followed by its racing history that began in 1950. The remaining chapters detail the events leading up to the 1983 IMSA Camel GT season, and then a hour-by-hour account of the bizarre Sebring race. The story of the car that won is truly amazing, and the final hour was one of the most intense ever in 12-Hour history. When the winning car crossed the finish after 12 hours, the driver had no idea he had won. From the twice-stolen pace car to alligators on the track, a yellow flag to let a fuel delivery truck reach the paddock, and yes- a hitchhiker, the behind-the-scenes stories makes Sebring 1983 an entertaining book. Among the drivers in the 1983 race were legends such as Derek Bell, Michael Andretti, Al Holbert, Hurley Haywood and a host of weekend warriors in the record 84-car field... including a serial killer who would make national headlines a few months later. Very limited press run. This book makes a great gift- ideal for both the serious endurance racing enthusiast and the casual fan. Books shipped Media Rate.
