Hey Mike- that was me in my car- the front of my car was covered in oil 1/2 way up the hood. unfortunately there wasn't any on the windscreen, like there was during thursdays session. The car understeered from the oil out of 17 and got into the dust. Once there the rear end let go. I must have over-countersteered and with the third slide I let it go around, hoping I was still far enough to the left not to hit anything, but obviously that did not work out as planned. The damage was minor. The car drives fine. I could have pulled the bumper cover off and kept running. A few people wanted me to take my RS out. I am going to take advantage of the car being down to rebuild the transmission and change the gears, and some other mods I planned on in the spring.

Subject: Advanced Solo, Registration

Registration Notice
2012 48 Hours of Sebring
Advanced Solo, DE Event

Registration will take place beginning November 1, 2011, at 1pm Eastern Standard Time. The dates of the Advance Solo DE event are: Thursday February 2, 2012 thru Sunday February 5, 2012.

The event will be run with expanded passing, with the exception of the optional Thursday night sessions (prior Sebring experience required) which will revert to passing in the 5 passing zones. It is mandatory that you attend the Thursday drivers meeting, which is generally held in the early afternoon. We will go over the entire event as well as expanded passing at that meeting. Should the meeting be impossible for you to attend, please contact me.

New for 2012 we will allow coaching by qualified instructors. These coaches must be registered for the 48 Hours event as a driver or registered as a coach. The coach must be a PCA member and a certified PCA instructor. There is a fee and registration required if the coach is not registered as a driver. The intent of this new program is to give new drivers to this track help in quickly learning the line and fine-tuning skills of more experience drivers. This event is for well-experienced drivers who have attended PCA Drivers Education programs. Coaching is a privilege that can be revoked on an individual basis at any time by the CTI. Do not register thinking that you will be trained the skills you need to drive at the 48 Hours.

To register and qualify for the Advanced Solo group you must:

1 Be a current PCA Member; bring your membership card to the event.
2 Be driving a Porsche.
3 Be a PCA certified instructor or have an email sent to me by your Chief Track Instructor stating that you are an advanced solo driver and have the experience and skills necessary to drive on the Sebring track with very highly skilled drivers. (CTI email not applicable if you have been accepted at this event previously)

Should this event fill up and we start a waiting list, you must fully register and pay to remain on the list. There are always cancellations. For the last two years, we were able to accept everyone who had fully registered and paid to attend the 48 Hours.

To register on November 1st go to www.clubregistration.net if you have never registered on that site you may go on early and set up an account.

Last year they would not let you run the night sessions and race unless you had prior Sebring experience.

Unfortunately, that makes sense. Thanks

I got iced in during the great Atlanta freeze of '11 and missed the night race but made the enduro and sprints. I 'm planning to be there this year for the whole thing - but (apparently) God laughs at our plans.

Btw- why is it called 48 Hours at Sebring when it more like 96 hrs?
