Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (Red Gump)
Hey guys! Speed Ventures is an association that the CF Pacific Section run's with all the time. Aaron Bitterman and John Wurth (who own SV) are truly Class Acts! They provide safe and fun time trial events at a great price. You have the choice to either time your laps or not. You can go directly to the SV link provided to sign up for the event. You don't have to be a CF member to run with SV. I wish I was in your area to run this event, as it is I run with SV every chance I get.
So sign up today and have a great time at the track with Speed Ventures!! :auto:

As much as I would like to go, we have another Corvette event that weekend. Guess you will have to remove us from the list. :(

Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (vetterdstr)
Hi all, and thanks to Red Gump and Vetterdstr for helping us get the word out. I am John Wurth, one of the organizers of this event. If anyone has any questions about the event, just post them here, and I'll answer them as promptly as possible.
I'm hoping for a good group of local Corvettes for this event, as a number of us from CA are transporting our cars out there to run it! :flag

Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (Z06-Nomad)
:seeya fluxen! here's his email with a few more details:
Hi, Eric. I believe the max number we'd accept for this event is about 30 per group, which will leave plenty of open track at 3.7 of track length. We plan to run our usual 3 run groups (beginner, intermediate, advanced), so that would total 90 cars allowed. We have never cancelled an event due to low attendance, so we'll go forward with this event even if we only had 30 registrations, though of course we very much hope that doesn't happen.
I hope to have a good group of corvettes at Sebring to run with, as I'll be transporting my Z06 to the event. If you have any other questions, just let me know!

what can I do to help? :cheers:
fellow misfits, if you've contemplated doing this but haven't had the opportunity, THIS IS IT!!! DON'T MISS OUT!!! I got to participate as a passenger once and had an absolute blast! :cheers:

Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (Red Gump)
For anyone who had trouble signing up for Sebring, we've just fixed an issue on the site which was causing problems for people who live in Florida, so it should work fine for you now. Sorry about the trouble! :flag

Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (fluxen)
Wish I could make it back east. I ran with Speed Ventures at Thunderhill last weekend, what a blast. in fact, I'll send anyone that goes to this event and has a better time than fluxen (John) a case of beer of their choice. I'll even pay for shipping, or better yet a couple bottles of wine from Napa Valley. Just kick his butt. :steering:

Re: SEBRING INT'L TRACK DAYS UPDATE (fluxen)
In the spirit of Gary's generous offer, I'd like to make an offer of my own to anyone who's willing to split their beer / wine with me...Well...let's just say I've never driven on Sebring before, and I could be persuaded to drive very, very conservatively ;)

You can bring a street car and certain types of track cars to this Event. Fluxen will clarify any questions you might have regarding this matter. :auto:

Track cars are more than welcome, so long as they're closed-wheel cars. We welcome sports racers, Trans Am series cars, etc, to run in the Red (advanced) group with us. I acutally think they make the event much more fun!
Disclaimer: On Gary's "Beat John" offer...I'm sure Gary intended to limit that offer to Corvettes. If you show up and beat me in my Z06 in your Audi R8, as much fun as that would be, it doesn't count (unless you give me a ride in it!) ;)
--John
I've gotta watch out for Gary with his wild, sweeping challenge offers!

I am interested in going, but it will be a few days before I decide. There are events at Sebring in April and May as well I may do.
