Default PBOC Sebring RCC Weekend Video

Many of you know of the Rolling Chicane Club (RCC) the distinguished founder is an avid poster and one hell of a host.

We had a fun, but very hot, Sebring race with an Enduro on Sat. and two Sprints on Sun. After a qualifying spin that broke my right front drop link, I was forced to run the front sway bar disconnected and the rear max soft. Below is a video edit of the RCC paddock and my adventures during the weekend.

I know, I know, it appears I ran out of talent! Everywhere.

Nice! Wish I could have been there but I was representing the RCC at Pocono. It's not quite Sebring but it was fun.

I'm staying away from that group, of the 5 cars shown there I think only Kevin made it through unskaved.

Christian, find out yet what's wrong w Demi-cup ?. I know I don't have to ask Bruce..

E. all is well I just cracked an exhaust on the butter smooth surface of Sebring. After B's F-1 grenade I was thinking the worse. I suspect some were hoping it did go bang so I could put in a 3.8.........

Good to hear no big problem. A cracked exhaust is easy enough to fix. I hope Bruce has some luck also..
Sebring is a car killer..

My new car smoothes out the bumps a lot and looking at the video, I think it allowed me to butcher up T17 even more then I usually do... I am going to need some feedback once I post video..

Erik,
I can't say that Kevin was the only one unskaved as he lost his brakes and had to replace the master cylinder over beers on Saturday afternoon. New parts "flown in" by MDRUMS, thanks Mike.

Christian, I cracked my header on my car last year...so it happens to new cars too. For me though I took it to the dealer and they said hummm....never seen this happen before....then asked why are your exhaust tips gold and blue and you caliperers have turned dark maroon? LOL ;-)

sbelles,
How have you been? You'll have to post some video of your new home track.

It's not about the dealer as a whole. It's about getting to know the techs or at least one tech there. If you are friends with them they can put anything semi-reasonable through.
