Default Video of Running with Jack Baldwin @ Sebring

Had a great time at the Chin Motorsports Sebring event last weekend. I was standing in line for registration Sunday morning and my buddy introduced me to Jack Baldwin. Jack is an ex-Trans Am Series champion (and also a super nice guy) who has also raced in the 24 Hours of Daytona in a DP car and also a TRG Porsche GT3. He remembered my black C6 Z06 from the day before and suggested we go out together and have some fun. He went back and convinced an owner to let him "borrow" a beautiful cobalt blue Porsche 997 GT3 and we hit the track in the first Sunday session.

Clearly he still has fun doing this and we both had a great time. Afterwards he said he had as much fun as he did in his last Porsche race at Sebring. The man can drive the wheels off a GT3!

Great video and even better driving Mike!

Going flat out in Bishop's Bend takes a little extra room in the inseam!

Running 2:20 toying around at an HPDE is moving!

Jack is the racer (and an accomplished one at that) and I'm just trying to have fun.

Thanks Mike. We had a blast. The man was down 150 RWHP and still made a run out of it. Had we been in equal cars there wouldn't be much of a video.

Jack is an awesome driver, I still have an autographed picture of him and his car on my wall way back when Trans-Am was still a great and entertaining series! Still to this day, his Hot Wheels car looks amazing!
