Can we have a list of quality events in South Florida for the next 3 months? I want in.

For quality events, I mean safe driving, open passing and skilled drivers. Not the stuff these Mancation Boys lived at Mid-Ohio, shame on the organizers.

Daytona? October? Sound fine to me.

Question: where do I find 275/35 and 335/30 x 18 Toyo RA1 ?

Edit: Looks like Peter beat me to it.

Don't forget the Chin events in October, November, and December at Sebring:

October 8-9
November 5-6
December 10-11

So you still have time to get the new car broken in before the new year.

Yep just got those dates on my calendar. New car is supposed to be delivered around August12th....then a drive down to Ft Myers for roll bar harnesses. I plan on doing laps around the Tampa highway system to put some miles on it at varying rpm's

I know in the Porsche owners manual it "hints" to keep it under 4200 rpm for 2000 miles....I read so much about not doing that it confuses me on what to believe.

Rad,

Safe, Open, Skilled, pick 2.

Might try these guys for RA1's they still show on their website.

Of course since you now have a trailer the excuse that you drive to events so you can't run R6's is no longer valid.
