Default Roebling Road

Had a great time at the NASA Roebling Event last weekend. Good weather good track and a fair amount of fast corvettes. I run a bone stock 5Z on 710's in TTA. Any of you guys there last weekend? Have a good time?

I have an opportunity to purchase a Kirkey driving seat for a pretty good deal but am looking at others also. Is the Kirkey a pretty decent chair? Love some feedback.

I am using the stock ZO6 seat in one car and a Corbeau in the other. The stock seat does not do a good job keeping you behind the wheel (you may have noticed ). Corbeau is about the cheapest option and I have been happy wth mine (the "road race" seat rails are a bit wimpy - been through two sets). There are much more expensive ones available with different features. The Corbeaus work well though ...

That's a lot of driving. You guys are hardcore (i'm jealous) Hope see ya'll at one (or hopefully more) of these events. Was also kind of lusting after Sebring (with NASA Florida). Be Safe, Have fun.

Sebring is a great track - it is a 10 hour pull for us so it only happens once a year or so and takes a 4 day weekend to do it.

We believe in being poor to support our track addiction...
