track events in south FL?

So with my GD about a week from being on the road I am interested in seeing if I can get it on a track anywhere.

I know the GD isn't too common here but the chassis is well suited to racing so I am keen to see what it can do.

Being a European Cobra I will let the cat out of the bag right now and admit it is running a 383 stroker SBC. Whilst many of you will reach for the barf bag this is a fairly common combo back in the UK where it was built.

Paul, NASA has a two day event at Sebring at the end of March. You will need a passenger side roll bar though for the instructor if you are in the novice group.

Thanks Richard, most appreciated.

The car does has twin roll bars so unless there are other requirements I should be good to go.

Excellent.
I know a couple of local Cobras are going, and a Jelly Bean or two.

That's an impressive chassis.

My suggestion is Chin Motorsports. Lots more track time and handsome instructors with mad skills.

I'll be at Sebring the weekend of 4/18 with Chin.

You may also want to look at upcoming events at Homestead. It's a great track with some interesting corners.

Gatorac, the GD is built specifically for circuit racing. Mine has a massive 14 miles on the clock, of which I have driven about half of a mile so I am looking to get a few miles on it in the coming weeks.

Reading the NASA regs briefly it would almost appear a full width roll bar is needed?

Oh, and yes I will indeed be in the novice group.

The thing that also concerns me is that certain things are British specs, harnesses (Willans) and seats etc. I might bring the car along to see if I can get it inspected for a subsequent event. At least I will then know if I would be allowed to participate.

Many thanks for the input.
