Sebring next month?

[JohnPaul]

The DLB website seems to be messed up. I signed up for the Sebring races next month an I saw one set up guys now I see another. Jf I click on the calendar entry list I see:

Joe Fitos, Tom Beattie, Brandon Dixon and George Levien.

When I look at the entry list from "My races" is lists:

Me, Glen Coooper, Brett Lane and McLaughlin.

this is weird, two completely different groups? So who's going? if everyone above goes it's going to be a pretty good field, anyone else planning on going? How about Homestead, anyone? I can't even find the registration for DLB on Homestead, whats the deal?

[Mike B]

When you click on the calendar list, make sure you're in 2011. That looks like the entry list from last year. A couple eagle-eyed readers caught that in my weekly F1000 newsletter.

Don't forget to register for the National Championship!

[Wren]

The top list is from last year.

I don't think Brandon plans to start racing until the March double at Atlanta.

Beat you to it!

[JohnPaul]

Ok I'm retarted! Well, it's still going to be a nice field, 6 of us. Anyone else coming down? The weather will be perfect, I swear!

[Purple Frog]

Exciting race for the lead.

Looked like Cooper was going to walk off. Then McLaughlin reeled him in and got by.

[Northwind]

Results or finishing order for the rest of the FB field?

[JohnPaul]

Order of finish:

1-Bill McLauglin
2-Glenn Cooper
3-Tom Beattie
4-Brett Lane
5-George Levien.

Did somebody mention Tom Beatie?

Car is painted up to look like a John Player Special, if you are old enough to remember.

Ah! I love the replica paint schemes.

[Jnovak]

Is there a link to the results?

Thanks ... Jay Novak

Ralph said last night that McLaughlin got docked for passing under yellow. So maybe Coop got awarded the win.

Mo pics
Q2 pole might be the fastest an FB has run here, not 100% positive.

Coop,

Am I seeing different rear wings between qualy and race or is the Lasik starting to fail me as I get older?

[glenn cooper]

All good on yer peeper's, Ken.
New lower drag rear wing upper elements w/ set back end fences on the car as of Race 1.

The pole time from Sunday's 2nd Q this morning is a 2:04.980.
I can't seem to get the grid sheet to print.

One more try:

[Ty_Handke_83]

Aww, and here I thought they might have developed/been trying F1's new moving rear wing idea, where the wing is able to bend back to decrease drag.
As for the color change... umm, sunset reflecting maybe.
In all seriousness, great pics, keep the update coming

You boys need the F1000 twitter. Tweeted:

Sebring Race 2 grid: P1-Cooper (2:04.980), P2-McLaughlin (2:05.522),P3-Beattie (2:06.839). Race 2 coming up!

Small confession: I pulled that info off Coop's Facebook page...

It's tough to get good cub reporters these days.

Anybody know why Lane and Levien are not on the grid sheet?

[Wren]

Sebring FB record and fastest timed lap is a 2:04.674.

For Coop, the Q2 timesheet off of his facebook page:

[Nicholas Belling]

Congrats to Bill and glen for swapping it up race one and 2. incredible driving both of you and to the rest of the FB field !!!

breaking into the 2:04.'s .. AWESOME..

Things just keep getting faster and faster.

And great job on the development testing of some new RFR bits.

[Northwind]

Wasn't John Paul supposed to race in this event? I thought I read in an earlier post that he was going to part of this event. Early breakdown on the weekend or did not enter??

[JohnPaul]

didn't have the car together in time and don't think it'll even be ready for Homestead. I'm disgusted.

[Northwind]

BUMMER!!!!

[Purple Frog]

Coop said the only picture he wanted to see is one from Turn 10 where he was crashing the curbs and two wheeling it down the track.

Sorry, security wouldn't let us go there.

Coop won Sunday looking comfy.

[glenn cooper]

Wren, are you sure about the lap record?
On Saturday, they showed Billy McL w/ a new lap record, then again on Sunday w/ me taking 4/10's offa Saturday's time????

Sebring FB record and fastest timed lap is a 2:04.674.

Someone needs to contact Al to update the EFCN site: http://www.eformulacarnews.com/news_info.php?n=4583

I didn't know that was still being kept up. Brandon set lap records last year at Homestead, Sebring, VIR, Road America, and RRR. Fastest timed lap at Road Atlanta, but no track record.

[billwald]

Congrats everyone! Well done for the RFR cars! The group was fun to watch though I was wishing I was in the races with you.

Again, nice showing and Good Luck in Homestead!

It is maintained, sort of. They don't actively, continuously research race results to see when records are broken. That's just not possible/reasonable. They rely on us to let them know when new records are set (or when their site has old or missing info).

I encourage you and others to review the current info on the site and send them an email if it needs updating.
