2010 SVRA 12 Hours of Sebring Results and Photo Gallery

The first race of the 10-race SVRA vintage car racing season was held March 17-20, 2010 at the famed Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida. Held in conjunction with the 12 Hours of Sebring, the event is held on the same 3.7 mile, 17-turn track that is home to the American Le Mans Series race.

Since the vintage racers share track time with their modern brethren at Sebring, SVRA has to group cars together much differently, opting for two race sessions – Vintage and Historic – instead of the normal six to eight pairings.

The “Vintage Group” included cars manufactured and prepared to 1969 and earlier racing specifications, while the “Historic Group” included cars with post-1970 specifications, regardless of year of manufacture and certain earlier cars deemed more appropriate for this group.

Photographer Hal Crocker documented this year’s SVRA 12 Hours of Sebring vintage race with a wonderful collection of pictures. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. To see more of Hal’s work, visit www.teamunicorn.com.
