Default HPDE event at Sebring

I figured I'd post these up here since its a road racing course. Here are some videos of me running at Sebring back in May. I finally got my brakes up to where they needed to be for something like this. Just in case anyone is wondering, the 14in rotors and 4 piston brembo calipers work great when paired up with some good pads and a cooling duct for road courses. Anyway, don't take this as how to run Sebring, I'm still learning, but it was a blast to go there.

Also, for the track guys, would the transmission cooling scoop off the boss 302 really do much for cooling our transmissions? We don't have the heat sinks like they do. Also, has anyone installed an oil cooler or rear end cooler? Thoughts on difficulty and if its worth it?

Nice.


What pads are you running? I've got most of my own 14" x 4 piston Brembo upgrade sitting here waiting on one more thing and I'm curious.

Guessing you have 3.31 gears in the axle.

I'd love to run Sebring some time, just not at all sure I'm up to 1100 miles each way to get there any more.

Sorry it took me a while to respond, I kind of forgot about this thread. Anyway, I'm running the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Also, I have 3.55 gears in the axle.

I used to live in FL so I got hooked on the track that way. Now I drive from S.Louis to go to it. Very worth it though. The track is amazing, but I also don't have a lot of experience at other tracks to compare it to.
