Here is my video from Orange sprint 1. Track was still pretty wet off line, started out pretty cautious and a few SPB made me pay for it

LOLZ, Roger that.

For what I saw of it, you/car looked like on rails.

Just wanted to throw this out publicly though, but my son Eon did a great job.

I know to a lot of you guys, an SP2 video looks slow and boring but laying this out chronologically,

We caught hell getting to Sebring along the coast from Baton Rouge.

3 truck/trailer convoy, creeping along iced up back roads with I10 closed (except where it should have been), lead truck with 26 foot enclosed, slid and blocked 3 of 4 lanes 2 miles from Mobile tunnel, tail tow rig avoided to the left taking only open lane and Eon and I along for an ABS ride right into the back of my buddy's brand new trailer....unavoidable.

To top it off, trailer ball receiver snapped on our trailer.

So here we are, 11:00pm, middle of a bridge with 3 inches of ice, buddy's rig front bumper up against a guard rail and can't move, us buried in his back door, our trailer tongue on the ground with four lanes of traffic bearing down on us oblivious to the iced bridge.

Lucky to come out of that alive much less make it to the track.

After sorting that mess and coming away unscathed, 13 hours next day to do what is normally an 8 hour run from Pensacola to Sebring......arrive at 11:00pm in pouring cold rain to unload.

No practice sessions at all and having only been there once.....a few laps in the fun race to scuff some tires and Eon got 1st in SP2 in that sprint (video above), beat some Sp3 cars and some Boxsters too along the way.

Good job....!

Wow. What an ordeal. I gather it gave him "the drive to drive". Great job! (And good to hear you guys didn't get hurt!!!)
