Fun at Sebring this past weekend Options

[Seabird]

Took the 914 up to Sebring this weekend for a track day with NASA. Saturday was a mix of rain and clear skies. First session in the morning it was coming down pretty good (cant quite tell from the video but when you see the stills it was very wet.) After a warm up lap trapped behind a slow moving Miata I was able to get by and let the red mist take over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Did not hit anything so no harm no foul.

I got a bunch of other sessions in the afternoon in the rain to practice what to do in low grip situations. Great for learning not so great for fast fun.

Sunday I was able to crank out a 2:48:46 in a spec e30 I had access to. My best lap at Sebring. About 9 secs off the spec e30 track record. I was very happy with the result.

Moved up to HPDE3 so I got to do some laps with Shane (JetsetSurfShop). Did not really get to watch his line too much as some traffic got between us. But will have more opportunities now that we are in the same run group. Always great hanging with you Shane!

I love driving in the rain! Looks like a lot of fun Miguel - the good news is it sounds like your car is running well and at least when it's raining it's not running hot!

If I may, it looks like in your spin you got 1, maybe 2 wheels on the painted line on the inside of T1. That's something that's easy to miss as you should be running across it all the time in the dry. But when its wet (and worse at night!) you can't really see it. It's slippery, a lot like the painted S/F line. I try to move over about 1/2 cars length in T1 and 1-2 car lengths in turns 3,4,5, depending on how much standing water is there.

I'll get out there and run with you guys eventually. Someone let me know when the next NASA event is.
