Sebring Fastest Qualifiers

Prior to 1970, Sebring used the famous "Le Mans start" in which the drivers ran to their cars to start the race. The cars were lined up according to qualifying speeds from 1964-69. Prior to 1964 cars were placed on the grid according to engine displacement. Regular qualifying began in 1970 when the rolling start replaced the Le Mans start.
