LOOK What I Picked up at the Track - Literally
Us Florida guys and a bunch of guests just got done with the 48 Hours at Sebring Club Race and Solo Event at our beloved Sebring track! I think there were over 400 Porsches in attendance and I think it was the largest gathering of Porsches GT cars ever...anywhere which would include; GT2, GT3, GT3RS, and Cup Cars.
Anyway.....prior to our event Indy Car was testing on the Sebring short course and they left a ton of Rubber which when caked on an R Compound tire made the R compound tire very slippery. After every run, I would literally have to go under my car and clean out the rubber..... How much you ask??? Well I saved it and it was 7.4 pounds!!!! This is what 7.4 pounds looks like (Coke Can for perspective) and it DOES not include the rubber that I heat gunned off my car this weekend which was an additional 1.2 pounds for a total of 8.6 POUNDS!!!!! Jeremy D had a similiar result as I weighed his too and it was 6.9 pounds....but I had more track time! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

No tuna on the track, at the track, or at the hotel afterwards....it was a club race!
