Sebring with NASA this past weekend (Video)

Bought a BRZ about 2 months ago as a track car after doing quite a bit of research and talking to others that have been running their cars a lot. I have been running and racing Honda's for years (and still do) but it was time for something new, reliable and with a warranty as a track day car. Scott (smbstyle) in particular has been very helpful with feedback and seeing what others have been able to do made it easy to get the laundry list of parts for the car that will make it work well.

I immediately did the basics to set it up for fun /reliable track use and plan on leaving it like this for a while and just work on myself as a driver and enjoying the car.

This past weekend was my 2nd time out and I am considerably more comfortable in the car than the first weekend out and picked up a lot of time...it is kind of amazing how well you can throw this car into any corner at any speed with any line and make it work, it is very forgiving and allows you to try different idea's and lines.

Here is my quickest lap of the weekend during the 1st Sunday morning session, a 2:39.6
