Was just about to ask where the Dorki's are in the paddock. I'll be stopping by Sebring Saturday afternoon and hope to find you guys - it will be nice to see some friendly Porsche faces.

Sebring is only a 2.5 hr drive from my new home...relocated out of DC last Fall and haven't had a chance to get the car back into track setup, but hoping to start back up in March/April this year.

Good Luck Dorki's and hope to find you on Saturday!

Great weekend!

Car run really well , was able to drop to high 28's

I want to thank Intersport boys for the support at track, Omar, Charlie, Art and Jimmy really save my ass this weekend


Fun track but brutal on the car , broke headlight , fog light , bust a reservoir line for front shocks and completly lost a reservoir for the rear suspension on the enduro 4 laps to the end Besides that weather was great

Really nice to see everyone and we all did really good.

This a video of Omar and I on the second sprint saturday

I will post end part of the video later

Thanks for sharing. Good video to watch as I'm sitting in my office, looking at ice on the pond & listening to the wind howl!

It looks like you guys are very much enjoying yourselves! Nice driving.

The Zone 2 VIR event seems sooooo looong away.

Ken - yea, I didn't really publish it, but this is our second attempt to make a go of it in Florida. This time we are setup better so think it will stick for the long term. The biggest regret is being away from the Potomac PCA club and I really like the tracks up there, but guess I'll have to get more familier with Sebring and Road Atlanta and maybe even a run at Daytona.

Antonio & Omar - great racing and it was good to see you guys and I'm glad you enjoyed the weather.

All others, sorry I missed you in the Paddock, but hopefully next time.

-Skip

A big thank you to Charlie, Art, and the entire Intersport crew. As always they did a great job supporting us. Congrats to Evan and Ryan for their wins.

Great weekend except for Sunday where my clutch pedal went to the floor and didn't come back up on lap 3. Finished 4th and 5th out of 16 in class in the sprints and had a personal best of 220.4 but after looking at video there is easily 2 seconds out there. PDK gen2 Caymans finished 1-2 in all races and beat the field by 2 to 3 seconds consistently all weekend. Spencer Cox did a blistering 116.8 on Friday in practice which beat the track record for GTB1 by 2 seconds.

WARNING: Excuse alert

I realize now more than ever that our sport is an arms race. As I pulled up to the grid each time it was a little disheartening to see that some of my competitors had sticker tires for EVERY race and qualifying.

Here's a little video of Sprint one that was black flagged after 6 laps.
