83 Euro SC.  The 66 car is for sale.  The car started life as an 84 Carrera but
has been fully and legally converted to run as a 1983 Euro SC.  The car is very
fast and has been consistently at the front with many podiums and class wins in
the heavily populated and tough PCA E class.  For what it's worth the car
finished 3rd in E class nationally in 2008 and is currently 5th of over 140 in
the unofficial Rennpoints system for 2009.  It is fully developed with the
correct stuff to run up front.  The engine was rebuilt in 2008.  The
transmission was rebuilt in 2009. Both are in excellent condition.  Fresh rear
trailing arms in 2009.  Full within the rules monoball, Smart Racing, Elephant,
Sander Engineering suspension.  Porsche factory transmission cooler.  Buckley -
Henderson - Products stainless headers with megaphones.  Guard limited slip. 
Getty Design front and rear bumpers.  2 sets of 17 inch CCW 3 piece wheels. 
Ready to race with the best of everything.  $41,900 Or Best Offer.  It would
cost you much more to duplicate even buying a cheaper race car initially and
this one is a proven winner.  Bumpers will be repainted prior to sale.  Call me
to work out the details to make the car fit you.  Bryan Henderson

All:
I worked with Daniel at CVAR last weekend and he is an outstanding
example of a recent A&M engineering graduate (and an excellent corner
worker also..;-).
Best,
George

There was a short piece in the Houston Chronicle on Saturday that said the guy's business is restoring high end cars which made me wonder if this might have been a publicity stunt (albeit a very expensive one).

Good gawd, implying he was hoping it would suck in water and ruin the
engine too.
Ya gotta wonder if it was all an accident...

Notice they towed it out of the water and across the muck, while still
IN GEAR!

wow  that is some crazy odds regarding someone actually seeing the crash and taking video of it as well!

The loss is still a covered loss.. people drive their vehicles into water all the time....
And they lie about it all the time because they think it's not a covered loss or they are embarrased about it.
This is no different than the guy with a boat  that goes backwards into a lake trying to launch or recover a boat..

While the original news reports have the owner claiming to have been distracted by a pelican flying by, I have a feeling the insurance company will be carefully scrutinizing this newest video looking for any low flying fish carrying birds before declaring the whole thing a fish tale.

Hopefully none of our 944 friends will prove this theorem next month!

It is a well-known "track fact" that whenever a racing vehicle begins
to leak fluids, its operator magically and instantly acquires the
ability to drive a perfect line, even though said operator may have
never been guilty of that behavior before.
This of course, is to maximize the time and effort required by the
corner workers to clean up said fluid spills.
Nobody needs computational dynamics for this one, except Craig, to
keep his job of course?

Yes I know there were a few this weekend.  What was the deal with the one at the
end of the day at T4?  Was that a car fire, or grass?  I hope everyone was ok.

"..Greg knew right away that they did NOT come from the factory with
4-way flashers, since he is rebuilding his own Sunbeam Tiger.."

Bigham fumble-fingered that one..sorry....,

All:
My friend and neighbor, Greg Dallen, worked corners last weekend at
TWS and had a ball.
When Control was wondering about flashers on the Sunbeam Tiger Sunday
morning, Greg knew right away that they did come from the factory with
4-way flashers, since he is rebuilding his own Sunbeam Tiger.
Lately he has had lots of time to work on that (longtime ongoing)
project, since he got laid off from his machinist job several months
ago.
If you know or hear of anything that would be a win-win for him and
his next employer, please contact Greg directly at the phone number in
the attached one-page resume.
Or email him at
tgrharly@...
Thanks!
George
p.s. Greg was working at 7 Saturday when the Black 996 had its
dramatic moment(s) there..;-)

From Judy Green, on the CVAR list:

John, David, and Herb,
Just to let you know Bob is in the hospital again and will be having an
aortic valve replacement and a double bypass on Wednesday.  We took
him to
the emergency room last Saturday and he was admitted at that time.
While he
is not up to visitation or telephone calls I know he would appreciate
CVAR's
thoughts and concerns and/or cards.  He is in Plaza Medical Center of
Fort
Worth or if cards are sent to our house I will take them to him.  I am
assuming he will be back home next week some time but of course it
depends
on how well he does.  If you wish to put this information on the
bulletin
board feel free to do so.
Thank you,
Judy Green

I thinkl it looks pretty nasty in Chicago!

My wife says you're right, the weather is much nicer in Rio ...

 

As my Brasilian/American wife (who has lived in both Chicago and Rio) has pointed out to me:

 

Why Rio got the Olympics

BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
