Trackside Support

[est8esq]

I know there's a section dedicated to trackside questions, but the traffic there is all but none existent. So, my apologies for misplaced queries ahead of time. Again, unlike other forums I'm coming from it appears the Viper community is pretty exclusive?

Nonetheless, I'm looking for recommendations for anyone that might be able to offer trackside support down in Florida? (Specifically, Sebring). W/ all the moving pieces and parts of this new ACR Extreme, I know most of it will be above my paygrade. Hoping to hop in and use "butt feel", coupled with times to dial the car in?

I know other marquee techs qualified for "cars", but wondered if anyone knew of a Viper specific POC (point of contact)? This is my first Viper and have zero baseline to compare. Would like to hit the ground running w/ as much educated counsel as I can get.

Tom Session for support and Peter Krause for the data.

When are you going to Sebring? Alex, who is the Viper Tech at Fields in Orlando might be able to come and help you out. We will both be there next week for a private event driving our cars. If he can't I can give you imput on setups that I've been using on my X there.

If you were going to VIR I'd suggest Tom Sessions.

Yea, Tom gets around to tons of tracks for support historically, I know he was doing PittRace and has been all over the country before, he's worked 2 of my vipers including my gen5, couldn't recommend him strongly enough, awesome guy and a legendary viper guy. He's out of NC, if you want to give him a try I can PM you his number if you need it.

I'd appreciate contact information, thank you.

I've got a hangar at Sebring I'll be renting in a few weeks. My original plan is to run PBOC Winterfest, which isn't until 3rd week of January. I haven't seen anything on any calendars for Sebring, but if you know of other private events or clubs that I can piggy back off of, I'd appreciate the info? I can get the cars down there a bit earlier and wouldn't mind running a bit as soon as possible?

Chin Motorsports will be at Sebring on January 2nd and 3rd. Chin is a great organization to run with.

I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it.

FYI, I'm not looking for a "coach", per se. I've got mine my own that I'm comfortable and use However, he's a Porsche Pro Racer.

I was looking more for a master tech than a driver and coach. Need someone who has crewed, not driven.

Anyway, another question for you folks as it's obvious ones on this thread are track drivers. Do you have any suggestions for some sort of bar or mount that I can place my Smartycam inside the cockpit?

I'm looking for a harness bar or something like it to go across the rear cockpit?

You can just do the suction cup mount. I belive some else posted a custom mount that they made in a thread.
