Greg Biehl puts Michael Schumacher down a lap
The Everglades folks made it through another weekend with Chin Motorsports at Sebring. We’re really glad that Scott from DeBold Performance was attending the event. At one time all of the Everglades cars were over at his trailer getting help.
My car was really easy to fix. It seems that one of the rocker arm nuts had backed off. The noise was sort of scary. It was sort of like the sound of your bank account being drained. Once we discovered the rocker arm problem Scott tightened the nut and I was back on the track with out missing a session.
David Healey had more serious problems. Serious only in the sense that his Visa card took a hit. It seems that his alternator died on Saturday morning. This involved driving back here to Naples, purchasing an alternator from Porsche of Naples, and then heading back to Sebring so Scott could install it. He missed almost all of Saturday, but was ready to go on Sunday.
DeBold Performance will be with us at the Homestead event on March 8th. After this weekend I’m glad of that. We’ve now got a half dozen people who run the Chin events. That makes it a lot more fun.
Also, I’m hearing really good things about the new Palm Beach track. Everyone who has run there is really positive about it. The Goldcoast region is already running events there. Chin probably won’t get over there until 2010, so you might want to keep checking the Goldcoast schedule.
