Oh, and I was born and raised in the deep South. As a reminder to some folks, it is the home to sports car racing in the US.
While Sebring was the first post WW2 permanent Road Course and one of the first Road Races. The Watkins Glen(NY) race started in 1948,
Pebble Beach Road Race(Ca.)now Laguna Seca (Monterey Sports Car Championship) started in mid 1950 then Sebring on New Years Eve of 1950. The first Road race in the U.S was the Vanderbilt Cup Starting in 1904 on an inaugural course of 30.24 miles!
