Im pretty sure he started P5 or 6 in the last sprint (only corvette besides Bob Turnages I saw on the grid)...somewhere around Rob...running giant slicks on the back. Luis and I were admiring the handy work bolting it back together.
If its the same car (might not be), it was backed into the wall earlier in the weekend, they bolted a new wing on and somewhat fixed the bumper and it was sent back out.....but that seemed par for the PBOC races this weekend....they might be on par with PCA (Porsches Crashing Anywhere) racing
Since you are somewhat involved with PBOC....im new at this but I have a recommendation.....once race group for every car is a bit dangerous. They should try to have somewhat equal speed cars on track....not a 40 plus sec differential between the fastest and slowest car

Somewhat true but the 991 lap times didn't go up despite the driving histrionics towards the end of the session when the Vette got him, but the 991 guy was pushing very hard to maintain the same pace as he went out on **** tires for the last race and towards the end they were cooked....albeit somewhat self induced.
I happen to know this in detail because I was the guy driving the goddamned 991. What's that Vette have, 3,200 HP or what ?

I'd love to see that vette run against u at Barber, mid ohio or somewhere like that
Better yet see it make a 90 min enduro without puking some sort of fluid

We've still got a lot of work to do on the 991, but it will get there. At Sebring with the same driver it is about on par with a well set up 997 cup. That will change over the next few months.

Last lap of first of two Sunday races had rob on my *** in his 2010 cup. Predictive showed a 2:12 and then last turn caution with a sausage car slow thru 17 and lap went from a 12 to a 16 with Rob trying to pass me at the finish line. Beat him by .00000000000001 seconds. Finished 9th.
Second race started 9th but tried/failed shortcut bishops. Loopdeloop thru 15 into grass back on track after a whole bunch went by me...
Emtech suspension is freaking awesome. Over curbs barely feel a bump. Car catches itself if it gets loose. Amazing.
track faster sunday. Think 2:11 possible. Now need lose more weight maybe carbon doors get to 2:10. Then 4.0 engine under 2:10 lol.
sad to see Silver Bullet go away. Will miss that car.
really enjoyed long 6 hour enduro even in rain. Drove half the race and want to do it again tomorrow.
tons o fun with the gang fantastic weekend. Lots of RLers some new some old too many to list.
Thanks pboc, Zotz racing, and Autoquest.
let's do it again next week.

I'm sure he want's to hire you all of the time now!
Barber might not be a good idea. It's the guys home track, where the car is tested and developed. Speedsouth runs mid-upper 1:20's in their similarly prepared C6. It will still be super fast there.

LOL touche' Yes, it has a lot of power. In fact, the car still is not sorted yet. The yellow/orange one (the other Speedsouth car) that took a **** early in the weekend is much less powerful but is actually a better handling car.
Clarke, I'm interested in hearing more about that Exe-tc suspension. I think it may be what I'm looking for.
You must have coached Kennedy up real good, he was driving far below that car's potential for a while. I was shocked to see that 2:08 on race monitor from him and that he won the race. I thought one of the Leonards must have taken over.
I'm sure he want's to hire you all of the time now!

Fun times, Rob! Yeah, was able to do 42 flats in the wet on very worn rears last night. That was right in line with the pace of the faster driver in the class-leading Cayman, my pro friend John Lewis. But those 16 laps could not be gotten back. Besides endless mud and schmutzy glare on the windshield, once we got back in the race, the car was fantastic.
Tomorrow we start working with your data and video.

[QUOTE=Polesitter;11050121]You were working with the best, though, so it'll get there: I have the highest regard for Andrew. We had a nice visit there, while watching your dad's in car from one of the race starts.
