This is a group pic of just ten of the cars that are here right now.
There are 4 more 914s (and a 912) hiding inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was looking at the sandwich picture you have there. I had a Spec Racer myself. I used to hate when they would have us race with the door slammers. You got a bum deal in that pic but 9 times out of 10 I'd get punted off the track.

I was in the pits at the end of the lap, with 4 rubbing fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

In that incident the Spec Racer driver instigated the event by attempting to pass me with 4 wheels in the grass on the opening lap. When he returned to the pavement he locked up all 4 heading into Big Bend and hit me, which caused me to lock up the front end so I couldn't steer. The Rabbit driver had no idea I was unable to turn and he decided to turn in (a bit early by my reckoning). At the time I was less than a car length behind the car ahead of us so there was no opening for either car to get in front of me. The Spec driver was nowhere to be found after the race, and the Rabbit driver thought it was my fault until he saw the entire series of pictures taken by a professional photographer.

I rarely had a good time with Spec Racers on track in the same race group. Our division doesn't put us together anymore.

That sandwich picture is a pretty cool picture, glad I wasn't in one of the cars though.
