BTW, on PBOC website it says the 4-day is not allowed for me, is there some special qualification for that? I don't really plan on doing all 4 days, but you never know.
Thursday and Friday is advanced only, are you a PBOC member, you might have to tell them you are advanced.

Who ****ing cares what Rad says he is an idiot.
Bullcrap, it was 2:16.7, TBL are not valid laps, I saw this on your SOLO DL.

Next time you get on slicks at a DE, I'll put the Fiat on slicks, videotape you, and force you to go back to Green group with the slowest PCA chapter known to men, somewhere here in Florida.

Dinner and drinks next week Mr. Cuatro Punto Cero.

That was the 397whp Fiat edition, a few things have changed since.

great video - so looking forward to Porsche Camp again.
The Clarke, get your Silver Arrow back to the shop, turbocharge it, because slicks ain't gonna cut it next time. See you at Chin, setting my SmartyCam backward to film shame in the making.

PBOC is not the best venue to set a lap record, traffic is intense, and SuperSolo is a group of fairly fast drivers compared to Spec Miatas, but too slow for your driving level. If you spanked all the DE Cup drivers at Road Atlanta by 6 seconds (and you did), at Sebring you get them by 10 seconds at least, so traffic is an issue.

Riiiight.. With extra HP and brake cooling, I'm sure it will be even faster...

I'm in Eddie boy.

Right after dinner, 3 rounds 90 seconds each, Mr. Cuatro punto Cero supreme boxing skills against my judo and kyokunshinkai lousy skills. No crying allowed. Winner gets free beer, loser posts face picture on the facebook along hospital bill. I'll bring the waiver and release of liability. Timing with iPhone devices allowed.

Guess I will sign up for Thursday/Friday. Not interested in driving through a bunch of traffic the whole time I'm there.

I'm not interested in any records during winterfest, I don't drive hard in DE unless there is clear sailing or at least mostly fast cars. I'll probably do all four days and hopefully get some clean laps in on Thu/Fri and leave early on Sunday to get back.

I hit that pot hole entering Bishop and was waiting for a flat tire at least, everything checked fine, back to pace, abused your AeroBeetle like a sitting duck, so slow of a Rookie.

Every racetrack has a straight in between turns, so the handling game works for GoKarts and SpecMiatas only.

My Fiat handles quite well on the straights, and the real lap timer doesn't lie
