Thanks to all for attending the PBOC Event at Sebring on June 27-28

We all had a great time, despite having to wear masks in the heat.

Congratulations to those drivers promoted to SOLO.

Thanks to all the vendors who came to support the event as well as the great Sebring track staff and our

PBOC Corner Workers, the Gator Shack, and Wine Country Motor Sports. 

Special thanks to Audi of North Orlando for the Pace Car.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

The next PBOC event is Sebring International Raceway

This is a 2 day event. HPDE Sat/Sun  September 19-20, 2020

Registration will be open at  www.ClubRegistration.net  next week.

Due to Covid 19, this event will not be the 2020 Kids Racing for Life event. 

We cannot compromise the kids health during the Pandemic. 

We are planning a Kids Racing for Life event in May 2021. 

If you are thinking of getting into HPDE or Racing and don't have a track car, Here is a deal for you.

Carl Dilley is selling his GT Roadster.... Asking $20k or best offer.
It has the new chassis and body and all the suspension, brake and other upgrades.
Only a few race weekends on the engine and runs great. (probably needs a carburetor refresh as its been sitting for a while).
All the safety gear is in spec still.
He has ton of spare parts that would go with it. Two sets of wheels and a brand new set of slicks.
Gary Tinker is pretty familiar with the car so feel free to give him a call. He's trying to help sell it.

You can reach Gary Tinker at Gary@toysbytink.com   ....727-215-1068

 KIDS RACING FOR LIFE EVENT! ... SEPTEMBER 28-29, 2019...SEBRING INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY

PBOC Races and Drivers Education at historic Sebring International Raceway. This is a TWO day event.   Go To www.Clubregistration.net to register. 

DRIVERS EDUCATION VENUES:

Drivers Education for Novice, Intermediate and Advanced Students on Saturday and Sunday ONLY is available for $490.  One day entry fee is $350.  Instructor entry for Sat/Sun is $60. Solo Entry fee for Sat/Sun is $490. A one day entry is $350.   (All prices include Florida State Sales Tax).

..SUPER SOLO® run group is available at this event on Fri-Sat-Sun.  Super Solo® drivers please register as Instructors or Solo as appropriate.

CONVERTIBLES: BMW Z3 with fixed rollover protection, the Z4, Porsche Boxster and the Mini Cooper are ok. ALL OTHERS must call for approval.   If you run with the top down, you MUST use arm restraints.  No SUV’s in DE.

KIDS RACING FOR LIFE:

This is also a Charity event for Kids Racing for Life.  We will be giving the kids, many of whom have been ill with cancer, and their siblings and family members’ rides on the track in race cars and street cars.  We have set aside time Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to noon for these rides.   If you want to give rides in your high performance street car, or your race car with passenger seat, we will have a sign up sheet at the event. Only experienced drivers (instructors and Solo qualified) can give rides.

We are in need of donations for the expenses for lodging, transporting and feeding the Kids and their families for the event.  A $500 donation can sponsor a family of four for the event. This includes hotel for two nights, t-shirts, and meals.  We are expecting 50 to 100 families.  If you can sponsor a family please do so.  

EVENT T-SHIRT:

Be sure to indicate what size t shirt you require.  While the shirt will be free to registrants, IF YOU DONATE $50 OR MORE YOUR NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SHIRT AS AN EVENT SPONSOR.

We have created separate Options at www.ClubRegistration.net  to process donations in various amounts.  OR Please send a check (in any amount, because it all helps) payable to Zoeller Motorsports Ministries to:

AUDI NORTH ORLANDO: 

Our friends from Audi North Orlando are a major event sponsor for this event. They will have their own run group assignment as well.

It is with great sadness that PBOC Motorsports Club announces the loss of one of our founding members.

Bob Shuster passed away on Thursday February 28, 2019.  We are all unprepared to come to terms with this loss.

Bob Shuster has been a long time member of the PBOC Motorsports Club and the originator of the Super Solo™ driving events program.

He, along with Bob Varela conceptualized  Super Solo™ and made it the premier run group for our HPDE events. 

Bob Shuster reviewed and approved all candidates for this run group to continue to ensure that is is the safest and most experienced group on the track.

Bob drove his beautiful number 84 red Porsche in a spirited and gentlemanly manner.   

We all will miss him immeasurably.

His service was held March 3rd, but you can sign a guest book for his dear wife and the family at:

Most people know the basic premise of how an internal combustion engine operates. An air/fuel mixture enters the engine where it is ignited, exerting force on the crown of the piston, forcing the crankshaft to rotate, which in turn rotates the wheels via a transmission – all fairly basic. What many fail to consider however, is the means by which the car measures the amount of air it is taking in, in order to properly meter fuel.

In the world of fuel-injected engines, there are two popular methods of measuring airflow – speed density and mass airflow (MAF) systems.

Speed density has been around longer than MAF systems, and use a range of data to calculate airflow. The inlet air temperature and manifold pressure is measured via a manifold air pressure (MAP) sensor, which allows the ECU to calculate the density of the air present. With that data, the correct amount of fuel can also be calculated.

The car’s ECU is equipped with data called a volumetric efficiency table that allows the car to estimate how much air the engine is taking in at a given speed. An oxygen sensor is placed in the exhaust stream that measures the air/fuel ratio and allows the ECU to make corrections as needed.

Because speed density systems do not directly measure airflow rates, they have become less popular for new car manufacturers, who instead use MAF sensor systems.

A MAF sensor sits directly in the intake air stream, in a section of the intake with no bends or turbulent areas – allowing for accurate air measurements. Most MAF sensors operate using a heated wire that is in turn cooled down by the incoming air. The car then sends a certain voltage to the wire to keep it at a constant temperature, and that voltage is directly proportional to the airflow into the engine. MAF-equipped cars typically still use O2 sensors in the exhaust stream as a way to check and ensure the MAF sensor is working properly.

Speed density offers an advantage in that it is better at handling high-revving engines than a MAF sensor is. Most engines – especially those of smaller displacement – that rev above 8 or 9000 RPM are better suited to speed density.

Conversely, MAF systems deal with rapidly changing environmental or engine conditions more effectively than a speed density setup.

Speed density is still preferred by many modified car enthusiasts, because tuning is simplified and because the wire within a MAF sensor can become an obstruction at very high power-levels.
