48 Hours of Sebring High Points
 

What a great weekend. David Murray had an event prior to the Club Race event so we had a good group of guys hanging out Wednesday and Thursday. This event is awesome and all of the drivers are accessible like real humans as even us/we are drivers. The pro-drivers are bunch of great guys.

1. Patrick Long - Had to take off early for race elsewhere.
2. Jan Heylan - Hung out till Friday and a great guy
3. Brian Sellers - Chilling on Wednesday and Thursday
4. Damian Faulkner - I think he was coaching
5. Patrick Lindsey - This is real man speed in this guy, plus he is a good guy
6. Dr. Jim Norman - Driving the endure with P Lindsey. He is local here
7. Justin Wilson - Indy car driver navigating a 964!! He did great
8. Nick Longhi - I saw him on Wednesday with Murray group.
9. Randy Pobst - He was hanging around the whole weekend
10. David Murray - Around the whole weekend and a super guy
11. Juan Lopez-Santini - Our local Club Racer that should have been a pro driver!

Thanks Joe! I made #11 on your list!

My high points,

- hanging out with Joe and Jim

- hanging out with Matt-GT Gears and using my new GT LSD which he personally setup for me!

- beating the big guys and cars to a fast lap of 2:07.06!

- codriving on Blue Dawg (#29 72 ST), starting dead last on the enduro getting to P1 by the time I stopped for a driver's change. BTW, 2:22.55 on a 2.5 liter is not bad at all ;)

- being introduced by Joe to Patrick and Jim. Super cool guys

- being approached several times about going for a pro-drive

Loved the event and the hospitality of all at Suncoast and GoldCoast. Also, finding the hidden "easter egg" on the program for the event.... I am listed as a member of both Gold Coast and Suncoast regions!!!! I'm Gold Coast by geography but Suncoast by heart since I learned to drive with them on their DE program.

Here's some in car video from my seat on my 2008 Cup

Interesting to see your RPMs almost never drop under 5000,
and are generally kept between 6000 and 8200.

i would give your left nut for a sequential shift transmission!
