Re: great sebring event (Timz06)
Tim,
My inlaws live in Sebring, if you do this again let me know, maybe I can combine a visit with some racing :)
All I need is a cost effective way to get the tires down there now :)

Tim,
Glad to hear it went well... Did you experience any 'sandblasting' on the front end/mirrors?
Les, if you're not looking to go w/ a trailer, look @ this, available soon(I think): www.tiretail.com

Hey Tim -
Sounds like fun - I was going to try to hook up for that one, but I had run Sebring _and_ Roebling last month and decided to give things a little rest. Sebring is such a great track! I'll have to encode some of my in and out of car video sometime.
BTW, I was reading on the other forums about Joe's car!! Holy crap! Good to hear it got resolved, he got to run the second day, and there was not really any damage.
:cheers:

Re: great sebring event (DT)
Really good track, maybe the best I have done. It was scary to see the Joe on the side of the track and the fire trucks coming over. One corner worker was really fast and got over there to put the fire out.
He spent more time under the car than in it, but still got a lot of time!
No sandblasting I can tell on the mirror. The car was virtually free of rubber, that is the advantage to having an open track and very few slow cars in front of you.

Re: great sebring event (Timz06)
Enjoyed the video!
I live in Clearwater so, Sebring is not a big trip for me. I might go to the next one.
What top speed did you reach on the track before you had to brake?
