Default A taste of Sebring

Not the quickest as I still hadn't quite figured the place out. But its hard to use the whole track when you're being held up. End of video my oil level gauge went all the way up so I came in. Wire came off sender.

The bumps can be tricky and very helpful when used properly, namely around 17. Traffic sucks.

I love sebring, so competitive and the hairpin is sick, i usually do a little drifting on that corner if the stewards arent looking. This and Limerock are my 2 favorite tracks

Exactly....another guy in a BMW thinking he's a good driver because he has a lot of power on the straights. You gotta love how he points to let you pass and then stays full throttle.......a--hole.

Fun. A set of sticky tires and a fat gas pedal does not make fast. That BMW started to put it together a little bit toward the end, but it all came down to a big heavy car thats hard to drive smooth. I love how the vette snipes him at the end of the last straight...a** hole should'nt have pushed that hard; vette guy had a bigger set of stones.
MUSS you drove the better line and your car sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff. That beamer had some gitty up coming off, but was rolling over in the corners which was killing him. He was probably listening to Barry Manilow.

Love the silver Dodge Neon halfway through the video, wtf.

Good driv'n speed racer.

That guy is a jerk-no clue. The thing that makes it worse, is that it appears he has an instructor who should be aware of what is going on. He should be tarred and feathered prior to the driver getting his punishment for being a moron.

Yeah I was pretty upset at the time. I was going to pit in and go back out but I was hoping he would let me by for real eventually.

I did some calcs on my top speed based on different tire diameters (315/40/17) as opposed to the stock 15's and I came up with around 135 on the back straight and about the same at the end of the main straight.

Muss, I just watched your video. It was great! I found myself saying, "Go, go, go...." a few times and my wife came in to see what I was watching.

I did, however, end up watching a few of your other videos.............Nice rack on the weather girl!!!

Keep up the good work!

Pardon my ignorance, but could you all expound a bit on what (exactly) the BMW did that was "out of bounds) (so to speak)?

Thanks,

Doyle
