Looks like Dodger, Dad's and I will all be at the Porsche Fest (Feast?) at Sebring the last weekend of this month. Plenty of video will follow.

That's the plan! Signed up and ready. Need to swap out from drag to road race but I should be able to get it done tuesday.

Sounds like a blast, have a great time and be safe!

dodger63

Out of curiosity, what kind of tires are recommended for this type of driving/racing?

Would regular Summer tires perform well?

These events allow you to grow your skills by moving you through run groups as you gain experience. Initially street summer tires are fine but as you get faster you will out drive most street tires and wear them out VERY quickly as well as your brakes.

Hope you guys have a fun and safe time! Try and take some vid's if you can! :zoom

SonnyakaPig

Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.

But, as your skill level increased, wouldn't you wear your brakes a lot as well, considering you would be trying to brake as late as possible which would mean you would be slamming on your brakes as you head into a corner?

I don't know very much about road racing, so just trying to figure out some basics.

Love the qoute in your sig

I can agree with the part about "lack of self control" but regarding car knowledge, I have to say, I learn more about cars from the Camaro5 site then here.

For example, on that site, tuners provide very technical analysis. It's helpful for owners. Here, things are much more hush hush.

I still got the winters on my c63 but can I bring my IROC

dodger63

In this kind of racing it's all about pushing the envolope. The more skill the harder you can push the car and all of it's parts

SonnyakaPig

I'm sure it's awesome to push the C63 on a demanding road course. High speeds, trail braking, tail sliding, and overcoming/passing techniques sound like a lot of fun. Down the road, I would love to see what it's like, but I can't do things that are fun and cool half-assed. So, that would end up costing me a lot on replacement parts, so for now, I remain a spectator.

Looking forward to some nice vids.

dodger63

Yea. I'm figuring a full service before after, a set of tires and break pads, and a crap load of gas, sounds like an expencive weekend but I need to get away and let some steam out

SonnyakaPig

By all means... I can't think of a better way of doin that.

Seriously, enjoy!

I'm out of shape, otherwise, I'd beat on one of my punching bags. Probably break my hand if I did it with any force. haha

C63 Guy

Looks like it'll be fun.

I know Dads is going to have a new toy in his car...

Josh

dodger63

Dads C63

Mike, you might want to check this site out for track insurance. When your rear end starts to slide in #17 you will be relieved to know that you are covered just in case.
