Anyone here going to this?

I have never been to Sebring and really looking forward to checking it out.

 

If I didn't already have another track event lined up next weekend I would have concidered it. Taking it easy with just a few runs at the local 1/8 mile track this weekend instead.

Sebring is an awesome track and NASA is a good org so I'd highly recommend it. I think its a HDPE event so you may have to check to see if you are qualified to participate or if instruction is available if you arn't.

 

I'm confirmed; HPDE3 this event, then instructor clinic next event. What event are you doing next weekend?

Or at least this is the event I think S60R is referring to. Sebring is a blast. So are you able to particapate in the HPDE or do you have to wait for an instructor session? I picked up a 98 M Roady a couple of months ago and have enjoyed every single mile of my daily 60 mile round trip commute.

 

Yeppers, that's the one.

I know what you mean about having a fun daily commute. I get to make a non-rushhour, 25 mile each way commute to and from work, most of which I'd best describe as a real life, full sized, slot car track, lol.

 

I would go ahead and take a look at his signature where it says he is a BMCAA DE instructor already...

 

You can always participate in (down) in HPDE. I'm not a NASA instructor and I don't know Sebring well enough to instruct. Once I get some seat time on the track and go through NASA's version of instructor academy, I'll start instructing with them. The problem is that, in my shoes, you're advanced enough to not need an instructor skill wise, but if you don't know the course it's hard to get an instructor. Going lower in HPDE levels is usually a bad idea because I will pick it up faster than someone still worried about mirrors, shifting, smoothing things out, etc.

Hope to see you guys out sometime.

 

LOL, I completely missed all that, so I'd say its a safe bet he can run in any kind of event he wants.

Ditto man.

 

Trust me, if you know how to drive a track, you can pick up any race track in just a few laps.

If you're concerned, just study the track map and maybe search around for some in-car video of a similar car.

Sebring isn't difficult, but does have a few tricks.

 

That's what I'm thinking Loren!

I've been studying video and track maps, I can close my eyes and get around 1/2 the track. I hope to be able to complete a (visual) lap by Saturday morning.

Here's a pretty good thread: Please critique my Sebring lap.......thanks!....Update 6/14/10 - Rennlist Discussion Forums
