    First track weekend in ACR Sebring

    Over two weeks was able to get enough miles, two oil changes, alignment, extreme aero installed and clear bra to make the event at Sebring this weekend. It was great to be out in my own car rather than in a "race car" for the weekend.
    Ran 7 sessions over the the two days plus about 15 minutes of "happy hour" on Saturday. Had only planned on a few laps of happy hour, but ran up on a ZR1 on slicks and decided to definitively solve the question of who was faster that day. So around 250 miles of hot on-track time. Saturday was four full sessions with the exception of the first, which had two black flags as a result of breaks, so probably 18-20 minutes hot track. Sunday was three sessions, two full and the third cut short at ~20 minutes after the low-brake pad warning light lit.
    Notes:
    • "Track" alignment, ~-2.5* camber, 6.0* caster, 0 toe; rear -1.6* camber
    • Wing at position 1
    • All fender and hood vents removed
    • Did not pit out with less than 27 psi, and today, pitted in after 4-5 laps to bleed down from mid-upper 30's to 33 psi each session

    I'm very happy with tire wear at this point and think I could get another day out of these, especially at a track like Daytona-Rolex, COTA or VIR. That being said, Saturday was "get-acquainted day", so might get a little more wear.
    The goal of this weekend was to really get a grip on tire and other consumable wear. LF outer pad is shot and suspect that there is a bit of air in the RF caliper contributing to a bit of squirrel and two incidents of fade into T7...I opted for the run off during one. Next time out will be on fresh pads and SRF. But am skeptical of any more than two days on pads at Sebring.
    Lap times were in the :19's today even in very light traffic. No video, as I was having too much fun to worry about putting a GoPro on the car. Hoping to get back out in December, but have an out-of-town friend in for the weekend, so likely will have to wait until January.
    Car went on the trailer as it came off, just with a lot of tire snot and dirt so a good ending.
