We played some awesome pickleball matches this morning at Tanglewood. A lot of very close games on the challenge side with Rich and I pitted against Al and Jeff. We never seemed to be more than 2 or 3 points apart all morning. 
After a quick shower and some lunch, I headed for Sebring International Raceway. Those of you reading this blog regularly may recall that I encountered a lady the other morning, while I was photographing the sunrise at the lake, who said the track would be quite busy this weekend with local cars running all day Saturaday and Sunday. So I headed on out there, only to find that I was the only car out there! The track entrance was open though, so I did manage to get in and take a few photos. What a great place. I may have a chance to go to the 12 Hours of Sebring in March, so was hoping to hone my photography skills a little, but that will have to wait for another day.
I also explored the local airport while out at the raceway and came upon this medevac helicopter parked on the pad while the pilot was in having lunch. No one said not to, so I took a few photos of the chopper as well. Pretty fancy rig for sure.
The Raceway and airport are side by each about 6-7 miles out of Sebring on Kenilworth Road. It is a nice drive out because both sides of the road are lined with orange groves. I've been meaning to get some photos of orange trees for months now and today was an ideal time to do it. It is amazing how the trees do so well given the sandy soil but they certainly thrive in it and with some irrigation thrown into the mix as well.
