Sebring Chin Event June 8-9, 2013 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

N_I_N · 05-14-2013, 09:53 AM

Thought I would start up a thread for the next Sebring Chin Event. Looking forward to seeing some other 86's there. I'll be doing Saturday only.

I will be there for both days.

First time on track with this car; I need to drive it a bit more (bought it about 3 weeks ago and only have 130 miles on it).

I'm going to be testing the @Touge Factory Brake Cooling kit on DTC-60's and stock rotors, and with some high temps in the summer at Sebring, which is one of the hardest tracks on brakes, I should be putting it through it's paces.

I planning to go on saturday, now that smbstyle or LD will be driving my race car at Daytona, right?

I wish I could do the Daytona race but I'll be in MN the entire week before, long hours, doing not-so-fun work.. just don't want to be racing while mentally not into it at all.

Thanks for reminding me to send in measurements for the essex bbk

Oh and for shits and giggles, I might bring out the Type-R and track her instead

Yeah heard you weren't going to make it. LD is going to drive it as far as I know.

So I can't really come up with any reason not to drive the ITR, it's been awhile for it at Sebring..

Dave-ROR · 05-15-2013, 04:34 PM

And registered.. plenty of solo spots left, not too many novice. Taking the ITR.. guess I need to actually start it, drive it a bit, change fluids, find the track pads, put air in the tires.. ugh.. I mean.. woohoo

ha, two buddies are asking about buying my ITR so I want to run it just in case it does sell. She needs some track time before she's not mine anymore.

I will be there for the first time as a novice. My BRZ has less than 1k on it. I have only done track events on mtorcycles before so this will be a new experience for me. Looks like a lot of fun.

FWIW Rivals are awesome, I've used them on sebring a bit now.

I think the ITR has AD08s.. I should check the tread, it might need some rivals too..

Maybe we can finally answer the which is faster question, different drivers but still
