It's a hoot to drive so you should figure a way to get down here.

Cool videos. Been to 24hrs Sebring several times. What club/group were you running with? What do you have to do to get on the track? I live in the West Palm area and cant seem to find any events locally(other than PBIR) to try my new to me Z. I'd love to be able to get a few laps in without having to obtain a 4 yr degree in racing...

If you run with PCA (http://www.goldcoastregion.org/), Chin Motorsports (http://www.chinmotorsports.com/), or PBOC (http://www.pbocflorida.com) all you need to do is pay for membership (typically $50) the day (between $200 and $400) and get a tech inspection form filled out (free at most garages).

You will need a helmet.

How does one get involved in these type of events..? I don't really know anything about how they work...? Is it expensive, what qualifications do you need to have, etc?

EDIT: nvm didn't see your post above.

Nice video man! Good driving.

How many times have you driven Sebring?

What brake pads are you running?

I'll be at Sebring myself with my Z on the 24th and 25th of this month.

I'm very familiar with that track as I've driven many types of cars on it in Forza

Cool. Black Z #80.

This will be my first time driving the Z at Sebring but not the track itself. Looking forward to it!
