Was hoping to make this one, but couldn't get new hubs for my C4 before the novice group filled up. Maybe Jan/Feb I'll finally get out there to turn some laps.

I will be at HOD Homestead this weekend. Look for me - I will most likely have one of the only DSOM C6's out there. Usually park in the 21C-D area.

At Homested got one session in today, then the rain started. Second session had over 1" of standing water atthe corners, lasted only 2 laps and black flagged. Waiting it out now but it doesn't look good.

Yeah, kinda sucks. Home now and still a monsoon out there. Got some great video... Consistent line but not carrying enough sPeed out of he turn. Still gotta lot of learning to do. Carbotech pads worked great once warmed up - no fade at all.

You get your seat grommets yet? Mine was a hit down here with the corvette guys.

Didn't take the car to Sebring today!! Thought it was going to rain! dry till noon, then small shower dry/wet track after lunch. Wish I would have taken the car, the morning was great, cool and dry. Left the track at 3 PM and got 10 miles from the track and it rained all the way to the coast, still raining. JD
GOOD LUCK tomorrow!! PeO!!

Mannie, which car were you running? I thought you had a silver C6 but could be mistaken. I was there and wanted to catch up with you to see your new Sparco seats.

Manny, those were both good looking cars. Unfortunately I will be out of town next week. Trying to make it back to the track on 12/10 with HOD and 12/17 with ERME. Dint know if my schedule will allow anything before that. I will definitely look for you though.
