I'll fess up.....It was a few years ago....BW clockwise....First lap out we round turn 2 and as I unwind the steering wheel it comes off in my hands...under acceleration....
I say to Bill....this is not a good thing
I calmly push the wheel on so the first part of the splines engage enough to get the car off track drivers side....
Pull the release...push the wheel back on and then pull so hard I bet Bill thought I was going to pull out the steering shaft
Tool around and go into to speak with Chilli....I tell him the story....he laughs and sends us back out on track....end of story...
Now everytime I drive a car with a removable steering wheel I pull on it like I am trying to open a steel safe door....
That was the first and last time for that particular "dumkopf" move.
