My first Cup car laps ( Sebring 12.08.12)
Never driven a Cup car before. Fellow RL'er Rob (FL997) offered a drive around Sebring in his mint condition 996 Cup at Chin Sebring on 12.08.12.
Took me .0001 seconds to say yes.
As I was approaching the car I asked Rob if he was ready and he said no he wasnt going with me - he wanted to watch/film from diff spots around the track.
I yelled for Sly and she came running.
Strapped in and ready to go. Stalled it. 5 times.
The feeling was raw, stiff, nasty, snarling, gritty. Shook my teeth loose and rattled my brain.
F'ing AWESOME.
Thanks Rob. Thanks 1,000,000.
first one is the 2:16, second one is all 9 laps

Car looking good!
Perhaps you could try a softer spring for that place. It looks like the back roads of my summer house.
BTW Rob , how you like my belts? Was I right on how easy they are to use?
