My tires were still OK for 1 day Spa, but not 2, so I just had a new set put on here at the Michelin truck, reasonable priced.

I still do :-) Two days Spa, then 10 days at the Ring with a bunch of Swedish guys :-)

I wish we had the Michelin truck with service and reasonable prices like this at Sebring and other tracks. That’s awesome!

Had some fun trying to pass a French softcock blocker.1 GT3RS, he was 3 seconds slower as I had been lapping in the 1.45's the session before. He really wanted to win his DE and I couldn't pass him safely as he kept the door shut.

I was running out of day, so I cruised through the pit and cooled down the car a bit for the out lap and followed it up with my personal best; 1.453 with the tires cooked. So fresh tires and you should be able to run a 1.43-44 for sure. I think the faster CUP cars did 1.37.

Lmao... Very territorial the French fellas are... Just like Nogaro!

Where were the marshals to wave a Viagra flag at the guy so he could come in and address his soft c@ck issue? Typical c@ck blocker behaviour!

Mike often thought Sebring needs a shop
At the track for service and storage
Maybe a new venture?

That's painful to watch. Are there no rules at that DE? Reminds me of some guys I race against. We just eventually block pass the soft cockers, but then again we run fiberglass bodies, LOL.

Looks like you're having a fun time! Keep posting!!!

Just a common douchebag. Totally ignored the blue flags seen in your video too.

I was thinking that if I’d been racing my Eclass 911 I’d put I’m in the gravel, haha.
Will so
