It was steamy hot out the yesterday, car was working just great even under hell. Lap times were freaking consistent on a 2:22.4 (for 4 laps). Got to take Ian Stewart for a ride, and instantly got a 2:22.4 (again) but this time with him in the car.
This car is so freaking fast and a pleasure to control, so so much fun.

Randy, Mike, Andrew, Greek, Sin, Mike (black 3) and Chris W great to see you guys again.

I also have to thank Gavin for the line tips. Following him was a good improvement, and a lot of fun

Great seeing all you guys. I had my point by's ready for ya! It was way too hot for me. Saturday was bearable with some breeze but Sunday was hotter and stagnant. During the last session on Sunday I thought I was getting heat stroke...felt really bad and came in to my pit and packed it up. But hey...no love bugs!

That's why the smart guys go North and skip the South East tracks in the summer time :-)

I was fairly happy with myself. I looked over my notes from last summer at Sebring...same car, same tires and I am going 3-4 seconds better now...thanks for some coaching and more seat time. I was still off by 2 or so seconds than back in Feb-March.

heat ... I'm also very happy. My personal best was a 2:21.1 and I got 2:22.4 (4 diff. laps). I would say that is a good time compared to a 2:21 during cold weather.

It was a fun weekend for sure! But as you guys said it was just way too hot.

Nice seeing everyone! And I'm bummed that I couldn't come out to play with you guys in the red group

Sebring is typically about 4 seconds off for slower cars from dead of summer to around the SCCA January National. The faster cars that gap tends to be a bit smaller. The track aways seems quickest in and around the January National.

Huge thanks to Randy for letting me take his for a spin. I stayed out a little longer then I usually do in someone elses car trying for a clean lap. Never found but hopefully the data is usefull.
