ShakinJoe - what car number were you running?
I was # 185 - had to bug out early Sunday after I flat spotted the right front in turn 3 - damn - hit a wet spot and dragged the locked tire about 75 feet. Bill K

Bill,
My engine is on the stand with the lower half built. I expect to be back in a short time. I helped out the PCA volunteers and some traffic control and corner worker delivery. Funny thing this traffic control....since the hans device became a standard feature along with halo seats, drivers have a hard time turning their head left and right while maneuvering around the paddock to and from the grid and off the track to their pit stall. The track actually hired two people to man hot points the entire weekend! I gave them breaks which means I did not do much! So I hung out with Juan is number one on all of list!

I watched Juan driving that 2.0L car and running with some serious 3.0L sheet metal and even newer SP996 cars. It almost did not look right....meaning,how is that car keeping up with the rest. In fact he was running them down.
I was with R Proudfit watching his car run as he lent it to a friend.

I watched Juan's 12 lap race on Sat and it was a sight to behold. He got squeezed off the front row in turn one and pushed back 400-500 ft. by the time they came to turn 5. It took him about 3 laps to track down the bigger, more powerful leader, pass him, and win by about 1/2 mile. Holy moly !
Count me in as a newbie to the Hans device this year - many thanks to the volunteers that helped to make it easier for us. Bill K

As of July, I'm about 2 hrs from Sebring. I need to plan a trip up there.

I was not on that session so I don't know if there was a wet spot there. However, there is a black patch of pavement right past the cut out for that road on the right which is not as abrasive as the rest of the track.
To compound the situation, there is a slight depression (look carefully and you'll see what I mean) were that road comes which, if you are way right, makes the car light by the time you hit the black patch and its time to get on the binders. I love Sebring and have driven many laps by now. I have the record on GT6S, GT5 and Vintage plus I'm kind of fast on the Cup too... There are many very small details on that track which makeup at least a second when you put them all together. Feel free to ask...
