Dude,

you were at NASA Roebling last month correct? Did they ask you to leave after the tire scrubing incident on green flag? I saw you load up after that and leave.

Do you run TTA or TTS?

I was there and ran HPDE 4 but will run TTS at Atlanta.

Have fun at Sebring.

Oh this is awesome...more vettes at Sebring! I will be there along with my fellow Ballz Deep Racin' buds...I have a black C5 Z06 #2 and run in TTS, my friends are driving: C6(400+rwhp), C5 twin turbo(590ish rwhp purpose built motor by Antivenom), C6 Z06 (515 rwhp)...all are black and have extensive suspension mods and will be running in TT with me...this is going to be maddness! Can't wait!! We'll see you there!

KBRVETTE93

Thanks - Yes I ran in TTA at Roebling, but (with 315 rears) I'll run TTS at Sebring.

Yeah - Guilty as charged. Was trying to group slower cars behind us (at the request of several of other top qualifiers) a little closer together, so that when we got up to speed, A few clean laps were possible before catching the tail of the pack (also scrubbed...a little).

When the group was flagged, I accidently (i promise) coasted past the first pit entry, stopped, and was black flagged (for that session) as a result of waving other cars into the pit area, ahead of me (Hard to see over the shoulder with a tight harness). Definately MY BADD.

Unfortunately, this took place (of course) on my last planned run before loading my gear for the ride home. I usually try to hit the road early on Sundays. After I talked with Jim (Race director) and everything is good. NASA runs a good tight ship, I wouldn't want to run with them if they didn't!
Had a great time!

KBRVETTE93

Dang! You move in fast company!

I'm totally stock except for the rubber 710's. They changed my number to 50 instead of 55. Trying to swith back, if I can.
Either way, I'll be in the quicksilver C5Z (50 or 55).

I'll look forward to meeting you guys there.

Red Gump

I won't be driving but I should be in town. if I'm not busy I'll swing out there and give you guys a hand if you need it. or catch you guys for a few beers at least.

I thought something went wrong there. I was guilty of a little tire scrubbing myself. Then when i saw the black flag come out I remembered the drivers meeting....oops.

Wish i good hit it with you guys at Sebring. Let me know your lap times in TTS. I ran there a couple of weeks ago and ran a 2:29, which is my best lap. My car is "new to me" and im sure there is more in there as im not using the brakes to their fullest.

Have a great time

KBRVETTE93

Sounds pretty fast to me. I'll be happy to post my time (unless there above a 2:29). Just kidding. Who hosted the event at Sebring a few weeks back?

Red Gump

been several. safemotorsports, chin, pca, pboc, seems there's something going on here every weekend.

Cbntmn

We are both from JAX also. we will have to hook up at a cruise in or something.

Good luck at Sebring. Its a great track. I wish it was about 4 hours closer to home!

KBRVETTE93

Yeah - I try to go to First Coast Car Council Cruise-ins. Mostly at Mandarin. I'd like to steal some speed secrets from ya. I haven't chosen the next race weekend yet. Maybe a few of us local guys can group together, pick an event and caravan the vetts... cool

Cbntmn

I have not hit one of those in a while. Used to all the time. The new vette doesnt have plates on it and im not sure if im going to put on one. I also keep it in Savannah most of the time. Have a building up there with a lift so it makes it nice to work on it.

I think my next event is going to be Road Atlanta on Aug 10th. That should be my first TTS event.

KBRVETTE93

I was at Road Atlanta in April with NASA Southeast. Drove on the new surface. It's awesome.

Cbntmn

We will have to hook up in Atlanta. Ive never been there and will need some input on the lines. Ive heard the new surface is great.

Now Roebling is re paved. Atlanta. Now if we can get them to re pave Sebring we would be in pretty good shape.... (i know, they never will re pave...something about history of the place...)

KBRVETTE93

Yeah....wouldn't be the same. I understand that it's not as rough, now, as it used to be.

73-84 IMSA Widebody

Ohio boy here, i am in Ft Myers thru the 23rd. If a few Vette racers will be there Fri or Sat I will run up. Sorry no car but I'm a free pit hand

Mark get behind me at Road Atlanta in August if you can run that slow that is in that big beast....by the way the transponder was on every run at Rockingham .

Jake beat your 2:29 at Sebring in the FRC last December with Chin. But it really does depend on the weather and track conditions. We will try to go down in Dec with Chin again this year if we can swing it.

KBRVETTE93 - what group were you running with in April? Rd Atl was a zoo that weekend and I saw lots of cars that I did not know - I knew some people we could not even get over to see. We were running the white FRC that weekend in TTA...

KBRVETTE93

In April, I ran my first NASA event at Road Atlanta in HPDE3. Cold weekend!

I remember seeing a white FRC in HPDE3 also. Was that you guys? Nice Car.

varkwso

That was us - we ran in HPDE 3, 4 and TT since we were sharing a car plus instructing. It was dang cold!

rudyarias

Come on up! I will be there as a visiting dignitary from NASA MidWest/In-Ohio sharing the HPDE4/TT group leader duties with Billy Stacey.
