So, no this is not 914 related, but some of you may know that I was attempting to have my car ready to run the Chumpcar 14 hours of Sebring in Sept. As is often the case with these things, the OTHER drivers who were supposed to pony up have not to date, and I just don't have the funds to finish the car appropriately on my own. We would be a joke, if not a hazard and I would rather get the car sorted correctly and have some fun on the street then rush into something. Maybe next year.
However, I saved enough money and set some aside to cover my own azz in just such an occasion. I started poking around on the forum and met a great team from Sebring - a father, son and brother in law looking for another driver. Though its not a 914, it is something I'm VERY familiar with. ![]() '95 Mustang 5.0. Needless to say I'm very excited to be living one of my childhood dreams - driving a lap at Sebring. I'll let you all know how we do and post some more pics soon. ![]() |

Well, its less than a week away now. Thought I would ask, what do you regular track guys do in the week leading up to a race? I know I should hydrate *with water* well the day before and I'll drink plenty that morning with a ton of Gatorade on hand. Any other suggestions? I laid all of my gear out to make sure I have everything. Here is my list so far.
Suit Underwear Helmet Gloves Shoes Balaclava Earbuds for radio Tape for ears Knee pads for working on the car Work clothes Tent and camping gear Can't wait! Green flag is at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday the 22nd. Live timing is at Chumpcar.com and I may have logging data available if I can figure out the app for my phone. On the timing/scoring, we're "Back Woods Racing." |
