SEBRING, Fla. – For the past few weeks, we’ve been offering you an insider’s look at all the activities you’d get to experience by attending the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) Sebring SpeedTour event. From the on-track action in the Vintage & Trans Am Auto Races, to the club-focused SVRA Sebring Car Show held at the track on race weekend, there was plenty to see and do at this year’s event. But our coverage wouldn’t be complete until we take you on a walking tour of the pits to see all of the Ford-powered race cars getting ready to tackle Florida’s Sebring International Raceway.Blue 60's Mustang race car with Red GT40 in background

So that’s exactly what SAAC-MCR Club founder Jeff Burgy, our Florida Ford super enthusiast and photojournalist correspondent, did for us. With his trusty camera in hand, Jeff strolled the pits during the SpeedTour that took place February 18-21, and provided this photo gallery for us to share with FordPerformance.com readers:Dark Red Cougar facing trailer in pitsDark Blue Shelby Cobra with white stripe over noseRed S197 Racecar heading to trackSilver Shelby CobraBlue Ford GT with white stripes and gold wheelsWhite and Red Sn95 Mustang 68 GriffinWhite 1967 Mustang with 76 on doorGulf theme Ford GT40 with rear hood openGen 2 Ford GT engine bay with hood openJim Farley in his Ford Powered LolaFord Racecar with 41 on side in grass pitsFord GT 40 returning to pitsjim Farley returning to pits at SVRA
