Default I borrowed some Swepco

Need to know who lent us the Swepco gear oil at the Clash this weekend. We needed it for a 944 turbo transmission we were replacing. The donor was in the middle of the lower paddock and I'd like to find him so we can pay or replace the lube.

That should narrow it down.

Would that be Marc Villeneuve? 997 RSR cup driver? They have a nice trackside set-up, car is white/blue and some yellow.

Carl Haas was there?

You "borrowed" the Swepco? Do you plan on draining it out and giving it back?

Thanks for the lead, I'll contact the guys from Quebec. According to our crack crew of paddock parts finders, who pick up on every detail, except names, it wasn't Carl, but the cigar may have been Cuban reinforcing the Canada theory. Hadn't thought it through as well as others have, but we have the case drained and the lube re-packaged and ready to return now. Racers are a helpful but strange lot.
