Ahhh, I hate that I will probably miss this event. Goldcoast is awesome with a lot of track time.

What does extended track time mean?
I was a bit disapointed recently in Homestead, I got to run three 20 minute sessions and that was it.

When we run a "joint" event with PBOC the schedule gets a bit compressed. You need time in the day for race practice, qualifying and the race itself.

When the region runs an event all alone we can be a little more creative with the schedule. For example, by limiting the number of enrolled student drivers we can combine the novice and intermediate groups and put them on the track at the same time. Intermediate out first, followed by the novices. With a 3.7 mile track like Sebring the cars space out nicely.

That gives us the flexibility to increase the number and duration of the on-track sessions.

Tom, I don't think you need pointers from me. And if I gave you any, it would just be to slow you down

Change my Avitar - hell I need to change my username now!
You left the shop too soon today. I rolled in 15 minutes after you left. The new car is very cool and I can't wait to get some actual seat time in it.

Buying a race car without actually driving it is like marrying a supermodel without so much as a $%^&*( before saying "I DO"

I'm sure the schedule isn't final yet but you can bet that Christal and Michael Grant have several ways to make something like that happen.
I will be there
and who knows.......maybe a Blue car shakedown!
