SEBRING INTERNTATIONAL RACEWAY - Friday's last light crept behind the horizon as the roar of the engines pierced the night air during the Night Enduro races as part of the 2007 Sebring Historic Fall Classic.
Engines wined and the crews watched the bounty of their labor speeding around the 3.7 mile curcuit, as the fans in attendence got to enjoy racing under the lights and see the fight around Sunset Bend (Turn 17) for the win.
In the vintage class, Jeff McKain from Virginia Beach, Va. took the checkered flag in his '65 Shelby GT 350 seconds ahead of Lutz Biedermann of Germany and his '74 Porsche 911 IROC with the '74 Porsche 911 of Jason Scott coming in third.
Robert Garcia and his '99 Riley & Scott 3000 crossed the finish line for the win in the historic class with Robert Tornello in the '81 Lola T-600 and the '85 Argo JM16 piloted by John Reisman came in second and third, respectively.
"It was great to race under the lights here at Sebring," Reisman said. "This track is a challenge in the day time, but even more so at night. It made it a lot easier following Robert's [Garcia] lights instead of being at the head of pack in the dark."
The Fall Classic caps off the weekend of events with the climactic Four Hours of Sebring, which begins today at noon.
