PBOC has hired me for all their events in 2012 to observe drivers in SuperSolo as well as the Instructor/Solo groups from various corners of each track, and give detailed car-by-car feedback on what I see in brief review sessions. In-car is between me and the driver, if they want it. So yeah, we could probably work something out for a session. What group are you?

Dave, any insight on why the enduro's have been reduced to 60, from 90 minutes at all of their events? The 90 minute enduros were what made PBOC so fun to race with. Combine the drop in track time per weekend with no reduction in price, and it sucks. I think they will see people exiting racing for super solo (much cheaper and more track time).

Dan's the man to show the line on T8...
He is so meticulous that one time in a rainy afternoon he even made a 360 in front of me so that he could better explain...
Yes, there is video but Dan and I "settled out of court" (IIRC he gave me a beer) so I can't youtube it.

No clue, Tim. Could be scheduling? Popular demand? I have no idea, but can certainly ask.

I could run in any non race group.
super-solo, or the next down... usually instruct if I enter.... haven't run w/ pboc for at least a year.

my main problem is tech. car is in miami w/ the trailer, I'm over an hour north.


-Anyone running HPDE or Supersolo know if we can self tech?
or, does the car needs to go to a shop with a stamp?


NASA allows instructors to self tech, so ran with them in Jan at hmstd...


-But, I'm wondering if I can fit you in my little car! LOL! I had a 285# in there, but that was w/ different seats.
these are recaro's but not sure which model.. looks like a profi 2 ? (pretty narrow. )
