Cool Sebring

I was driviing at Sebring last weekend, here's a shot we managed to grab at the end of the day of our group. We had a great time at this track, for many of us it was our first time at Sebring.

A great group of guys. Sorry I did not introduce myself. I instructed J Lynch on Saturday to orient him to the course. It looked like Napleton put on a very nice event. Man, there were some beautiful GT3s there last weekend.

Napleton does take care of us! I recognize your car from your avatar, unfortunately we didn't get to shake hands. Yes there were some very nice GT3's out there including yours.

What a great weekend!

Jim,
It was great to meet you briefly on Sunday (I have the "other" cobalt GT3). It was pleasure to see all the GT3's flying around the track. It not often we get four, five, or six GT3's in row, and what a wonderful sound they make!

I'm glad they could get you on the track later for the photo. Just be sure to take a long look at it around October/November when the first snow falls. That should be motivation enough to come back next spring.

BTW: my wife took a bunch of pictures over the weekend. There are quite a few of the Napleton cars. The photos are at http://gallery.me.com/cogt3#100395&b...grey&view=grid Please feel free to download at will.

It was nice meeting you as well. Nice pictures! I will be sharing a gallery too, I am busy editing video at the moment. We will be back down to run with you all in the winter.

What a great weekend!

Jim, sorry I did not get to meet you guys. I was instructing a new student on Saturday and then showing some new guys from Michigan the line in a lead follow.

However I did get to give some of these GT3's a lot of point by's in the Red group! You picked up the track very quickly...well done.

Great photos! Anyone know what exhaust is on this car? Also, are there any potential issues with using the cup car wing/decklid given that you lose the cooling fan?

Cup car exhuast, he told me he lost about 40lbs. The cooling fan is still used with this decklid.

Mike, it was certainly a pleasure meeting you. I really enjoyed running with you... my tires were spent by that time so it was a bit frustrating, but even if I had fresh ones I doubt I could keep up with you!

5 or 6 of us are already in for the Glen.

I already thought you were a part of the group!
