Awesome night shot! One of those trailers is in my future - been looking at upgrading my F-150 to a F-250/350 to handle it.
Thanks for the post and have a blast on track.

Had a great time at Sebring... The car is simply amazing. While I plan to bring my 997.1 RS to Sebring in June with Chin again, I expect a completely different experience.

Had the pleasure of meeting a few members from the board.

Here's a video of me chasing my buddy in his 991 GT3. This was my first time on the track with it and I still consider myself a conservative driver (consciously and sub-consciously). There was another black 991 GT3 that easily had 5-6 seconds on me around the track. I didn't even think about trying to keep up.

The brakes are phenomenal. The turn in and the grip with the MPSC2 was excellent. Car felt stable all around the track. My left leg was sore from bracing during hard braking. I have a Cantrell Rollbar coming in tomorrow as well as the new sub-bars that they make. That should help.

The black one was pushing harder and sliding harder ;-)
This you? Fly-by

Maybe I have a video of a fly-by
Thanks Peter. And he was definitely sliding in places where I was not. My tires were relatively quieter. I'll post the video later on tonight where he passed me and was gone after half a lap. I moved the camera to the back window which gives a better view of the RPM gauge and cockpit. I didn't get much slide out of the car where he did. I just know where my thresholds/comfort levels are and 8/10ths are good enough for me to have a great time with friends.

I also stopped timing myself on the track. Over the years I found myself chasing a tenth of a second here / there. You know when you hit a corner right. You know when you're in the grove and have a good lap. And just when you think you did great, another car goes by you like you were standing still. I just love the mechanics, the sound, the feel of the car.... amazing.
