Chin Track Days - Sebring Wrecks

'Chin Track Days' hosts an awesome event at Sebring International Raceway. We had excellent temps in the high 60's both days with a slight breeze making for perfect racing conditions.

Perfect Racing conditions can provide opportunities for record breaking blister laps. My good friend and TL team mate Dave was so kind to allow me to bolt up the 'Goodyear Eagle F1' tires in order to feel them out and compare them vs a 200tw compounds. Such a communicative compound for an R comp like tire.

With the good sometimes comes the bad... Unfortunately I had a front row seat to not one but two serious accidents that totaled two incredible Japanese sports cars out at Sebring this weekend. Both drivers collided with the walls at high speeds but were able to walk away unscathed from what I was told. The team at Chin did an incredible job at responding to the calls. Also very big shoutout to the emergency teams trackside at Sebring.
