Anyone know whether PBOC under the new ownership is planning for a 2022 Sebring Winterfest?

Thank you.

Mike Roblin

Yep, it is definitely happening. I’m sure John will be posting up more details soon but it should be the best winterfest yet in 2022

PBOC National

Folks-

Sorry for the delay and thanks, Mike for the quick reply. We've put final touches on registration and hope to get registration open on clubregistration.net here tonight or tomorrow.

Due to the many changes (to include VIP lounge and entertainment), we've been communicating and trying to coordinate logistics and planning hardly done before with the track. Sebring is excited at everything we're trying to do, but coordination has had its challenges.

At the sake of not having to redo out schedules, we've delayed going live, but wanted to thank you all for your support and patience!!!

PBOC National

Registration is open. Thank you all for your patience.

As a long time forum member, I wanted to bring this back up and encourage Porsche owners to feel free to provide feedback and let me know what PBOC can do to enhance the driving experience.

For those that don't already know, PBOC was born as a result of former executives of local PCA regions feeling PCA National being out of touch.

We're all fighting technology, culture and changes in combustible engines and racing in general. We are listening and want to enhance the driving experience for every one, so please feel free to provide suggestions.

Please clarify the criteria for running in the "Super Solo" group.

est8esq

SuperSolo is for advanced, experienced drivers capable of driving in a very fast group of other experienced drivers. Like other driving groups, it's a vetting process and it all begins with a driver's interest and query.

We host a personal interview to qualify the candidate's capacity and once approved, they're provided provisional status to drive in the group over the course of the event's weekend. The candidate must demonstrate driving proficiency, critiqued and feedback provided by veteran SuperSolo drivers on track and the provisional driver must stay incident free (with "incident" not necessarily meaning contact or an accident). Candidates are required to shadow three races at various flag stations and obtain sign offs to observe what flag stations do during races and must work a shift as a grid marshal during the 6 hour enduro race.

SuperSolo boasts the lowest incidents of any run group and I have yet to drive in any group, race or HPDE with a group of drivers more conscientious, their heads on a swivel, epitomizing situational awareness than in SuperSolo.

Come give it a try.

I'm registering for this for the first time.

I am registering as an instructor Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

I've never done PBOC before so I have a couple questions that weren't in Club Reg or this thread.

Sorry for my ignorance. I do see some very familiar names (thankfully) on the DE roster so far.

Is there a link to what the schedule is like?

Is there a website for this?

Is this a 3 day or 4 day event for the DE folks?

Are any of the days open lapping days?

Thanks in advance for any info you folks could provide.

I just registered.

Thanks,

DG

Edit: I found some info on CR, but still have the above questions, kinda. Thanks from this PBOC newbie....

It's a 4 day DE. Schedule is posted in the event files at the bottom of the details page on ClubReg.

Thanks

Mike Roblin

The HPDE side of things is that Thursday and Friday are for Solo and Super Solo drivers with Saturday and Sunday being a full blown DE including students and instructors.

Then there are the Racing groups throughout the 4 days if that’s your thing

You’re going to have a great time Bruce, welcome to Florida in January! Feel free to come by and see me during the event

Winterfest is always a fantastic event

dgrobs

Sweet. I will. Wife will be in tow as well.

I registered for all 4 days and instructing over the weekend. I think my car will already be down there.

I’ve been to Sebring a few times just never PBOC. Can’t wait.

I actually lost a filling last time there. It was already loose but I think it came out in 17.

See you there.

Mark Dreyer

17 will do that to you. Stop by our rig and say hey if you get a chance. It’s a 45 foot Prevost and my car is a yellow Cayman. Shouldn’t be hard to spot.
