PK Sport At Sebring – Friday Report
A problem-free Friday is the holy grail for teams contesting the punishing 12 hours of Sebring and PK Sport came through the Friday practice session without a problem.

Hugh Plumb (below, right) was first out in the #60 car, the car running the team’s spare gearbox, while the race unit was rested. The car was also trying out a softer compound of Pirelli, which both Plumb and Peter Boss found a better balance through the session.

Peter Boss takes up the story: “The car ran very well indeed, we bedded in some pads and the car felt good and quick too. We’ll run again tomorrow for the warm-up and then we’re ready to go for the race itself.”

Boss is making his debut here at the 12 hours, but his family has some impressive heritage at this long-lived event:

“Both my brothers have driven here in recent years and my Grandfather Russell was official starter in 1952 and then drove here with Briggs Cunningham and Stirling Moss in the late 1950s. My dad saw him race and he’ll be here tomorrow to watch me too.”

It was a good day too for the crew in the #61 car, all three drivers were out this morning and again the car came through without much drama, a minor excursion from Tracy Krohn the only notable incident, but with no harm done.

Tracy Krohn has had an eventful day, announcing this morning that he is to field a two car Lamborghini team in the ALMS, together with veteran team owner Dick Barbour. John Hindhaugh finds out the news for the Radio Web, below.

PK boss Mike Pickup had little warning that such a significant development lay behind Krohn’s addition to the PK family:

“Its great news for the ALMS and for Tracy, he’s been good to work with this week and it’s good to hear we’ll be seeing him around the paddock throughout the season.”

With the afternoon autograph session (lots of fun, above, and great for the fans and drivers) the only other official action for the team’s drivers it was early to bed and early to rise (a 7:30 am warm-up session) ahead of the start of the race at 10:30 am on Saturday.

It promises to be a great race and a huge challenge for PK Sport.

David Warnock looks to be up for the challenge, right.
