We all have our special moments on the track, autoxing, running an enduro or some special motor sports event. What's yours? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Lap Record at Watkins Glen
Here is how "it " happened. Back in 1998 I was driving my 914-6 at Watkins Glen in the all-Porsche Gmund Cup. After completing the race and relaxing beside my car (#914), I encountered a steady stream of people looking at the car and then congratulating me. After a while I thought I had better check with Scoring and Timing and get the results sheet. Much to my amazement, I had finished first in this prestigious event ... ahead of Brian Redman, Bob Snodgrass and a host of talented drivers in some very fast cars. I took that result sheet (see below) to as many of those drivers as I find and had them sign it. Now that you are in disbelief, take a closer look at that sheet. My 11th lap was erroneously recorded at 17 seconds! 3.37 miles in 17.174 seconds ... that's over 700 mph. Of course, the results were corrected but I have "proof" that the fastest lap ever recorded at Watkins Glen was in a 914 Attached File(s)
