I almost couldn't make it to the race due to schedule problems but after rearranging compromises I will arrive in NYC on March 15th. This is the best I could do.
My plan is to rent a car and go from NYC to Sebring (Google Maps says its a 20h trip). Am I crazy to consider this?
So, my estimated time of arrival is March 16th around 9 a.m. How much trouble will I have to enter Sebring, find a good parking spot, etc?

I'm very, very excited for this trip. It's just me and my best friend so ANY piece of advice on how things work around there is valuable.
You're certainly not crazy to consider this.
Have you looked into flying out of New York to Orlando and getting a car there? The drive from Orlando to Sebring is a couple hours on a bad day.
Just a thought so you can maximize your time at the track vs. travel time.
I can't speak on how easy/difficult it will be getting in and parking on Saturday morning if that's what ends up happening because I always get there quite early on Wednesday.
Regardless, you should do it no matter what!
