Moroccan Gold Team Speeding
We have been talking with the guys from Team Moroccan Gold Imports quite a bit on this trip. Tim saw the Motor Trend blog last night that they were busted for a speeding ticket. They never new the Motor Trend guys where there to snap the photo until we told them this morning.
Sometimes it sucks being the slow guy with the trailer. Sometimes it’s not so bad being the slow guy.
They have been a great group of guys, so adding the extra ribbing onto them, and away from our off-road excursion has been a welcome change.

We made it to Sebring!
Happy Cinco de Mayo. Today we are here because the staff at the East Rochester Public library got us here with a sponsorship. I admittingly haven’t read much since this trip started, as we have been active non stop.
The drive was definately long, but we welcomed the smooth roads of Florida. Hauling the trailer is a necessity for us, but a curse at times.
Everything I own is wet, but drying out quickly. The temperature is hot, but we have a paddock and life is nice for the next hour. Once Tim gets on track again, we need to pack and go.
Tim ran the car this morning around Sebring. We are looking like 2:45 lap times, which isn’t the quickest, but expected for the first time out. It is a large intimidating track at times, where getting in trouble means a wall, so we are learning safely.
The AMS Subaru overheated and blew the motor this morning. He has a stock radiator, so we are grateful we have the new AFCO in place.
We are bleeding brakes, swapping plugs and getting ready for second runs now.
We are eating through methanol and will need to send out some delivery favors if we hope to have full boost for Datona.

There are a couple of Video Streams that happen a little more consistently than ours. The UnitedBMW team has been setting up a webcam on a tripod every morning at the track, so be sure to check their channel out for updates.
