Spent the weekend at Buttonwillow Race Park in the company of a bunch of fine racers including our very own distinguished leader B.R. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
I had a real good weekend. My car ran well, and I posted some respectable times for my first time at this track. I also managed to keep the car on the pavement. Unfortunately I can't say that about my friend Bob who redesigned his 914 the quick way. He caught a wheel in the mud while the car was oversteering off track, did a pirouet about 10 feet in the air and rolled it 3 or 4 times, accounts vary. Needless to say the car is toast. Unbelievably he is fine except for a few bruises. His roll cage saved his life and lived up to it's name. He can't wait to get a roller to transfer all the parts over and get back on the track. Must be a disease. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
