Matthew Greenwood | 12 Hours of Sebring 1998 La Bomba Racing Float Prep - Houston Art Car Parade @mmmatthewww | Uploaded August 2008 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The making of the La Bomba Race Car Float for the 1998 annual running of the 12 Hours of Sebring. This was the second year of existence for the now legendary La Bomba Float. In her debut year (1997) we painted the graphics on the hard sides of the float. In subsequent years we painted all the graphics on removable panels so that we could use them again the following year after painting the float all the various transformations that it goes through throughout the year. So here we were in 1998 having to start again from scratch. We usually get started about two weeks before the big race and work like mad until we get her done. The cast of characters involved at any one time in prepping the float is probably about twenty-five or so persons.
