CO Boss at Sebring on 9/10/11?

I was at Sebring this past weekend with PBOC and saw a CO Boss out on track with black GT500 wheels in the novice group, car looked good! Just wondering if you are on here? Curious as to what tire setup you are running (sizes and squared or staggered) and if you had any overheating issues on track? It was a scorcher!! I'll post a few pics I took of it, I think I might have got a video too.

Thumbs up PBOC-KRFL Sebring

That was me, got my solo checkout second session day one........First day back to the track in over a year and a half, I was out with a broken leg…………

The Boss is an animal!

I'll be at the November Chin event with the Miata (Sunday only), and maybe helping with registration/tech for the October event.

Im split between the December Chin event and a December event at Daytona right around the same time....

I was there a few weeks back, nice facility but was not overly impressed with the course (I'm no expert but..) Part of the problem was track time, things did not go well for our group, not Homestead's fault. I may make it down there again since a friend has a LS coming and I am sure he will want to try it but it is not on my "regular" schedule.

Sorry to hear your experience wasnt tops. I go to watch events from time to time... Hello there is NO shade, so you folks that like the north think twice until it cools a bit :-).

Well do mention if you are comin down and yur pal with the LS. I would enjoy checking things out. Hope to get my Boss out at some point. I have alot to learn as a way newby...

I was down there about 2 weeks ago on a business trip. Stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites 5 minutes from speedway. Drove over to see the speedway. Next time down i will check the schedule. Looks like Friday nights are drag nights as long as weather is good

Homestead is not a bad track to learn on and have some fun, I just like turning more at Sebring. Turns 3, 8 and 13-14 can be tricky but you get a chance to open up the Boss on all the straight aways. You may hear people putting PBIR down but that can be a fun track and teach you a lot. It is easy to remember your way around and know where you are at all times unlike your first time at a track like Sebring. I would recommend PBIR for your first track experience.

Depending on the club we run with you can join us as a passenger at PBIR or Sebring.

Every other Friday 1/8 mile drag, weather permitting. $10 to watch, $20 to race i believe.

The next few events I have are with Chin, they are stricter on passengers and Oct 8 will be my first time with them so I doubt they will allow me any passengers. Will let you know if any other dates come up with a club like HOD.

You will need a helmet Snell SA 2005 or better, long pants are a good idea and some clubs require them. I don't wear long sleeves unless required but always good to bring just in case. You do not need a racing suit but a lot of nerve to get into a car with me

This is a good site to see up-coming event down here:
