Default Florida Crown PCA HPDE, Roebling Road, 11-12 Sep

Just got back from Roebling Road. Ran with GreyWolfe and 05C6GAC in the White group. As with any PCA event the P cars slowed us down but we still managed to have fun. The last session of today we were able to do a 3 corvette lead follow on an open track. Nothing like being on Fred's bumper at 140 mph on the front straight.

Sorry fellas but I must have hit the wrong button on the GoPro so our chase session is undocumented. Just the same it was a blast.

Man this weekend was a blast. That last session was like icing on the cake!

We need to get moved up to the open passing black group though. The point bys were way too late by alot of the drivers in the white group.

I got black flaged once today for a late pass into 1...

Great running with you guys!

I am begining to think that the 01 Z06's being down on power is a myth/conspiricy... They seem just at fast on the straights as the 02-04's... at least the ones I've seen.

Maybe Scott let Greg borrow his cheater cam???

Perhaps like any fisherman I embellished a bit or maybe I just was getting a good draft off Fred. :o

I agree this event was really fun.
I'm glad the weather held out like it did.

Maybe Fred is working on his straightline talent.......

He needs a veteran street tire record holder as a rabbit.....

If you are not at top of fourth at start finish (3.42) in a LS1 or 6 you need to work on T8 exit....

top of 4th as in redline? I never even got to the rev limiter into T1

Those last 9 mph take awhile

I had the rears spinning off of 8 onto the rumbles on the best laps, speedo was @ 140 at SF. Stickers would have helped as I could gotten in the gas earlier in 8.

That's a fun corner

Man you're a player with that card! I might sign up for a PCA event and have some fun with the T1 car and the porsches. Got to try out my cool card! Got me a Nasa instructor card as well, now I am really pimpin!
