After 30+ years of racing I have hung it up. ( at least for now) My 928 racer is in the hands of Rob Edwards and I just sold my Porsche Cup car to a collector who regularly has his cars on display at Porsche. Joerg Bergmiester won a championship in the car.

Joerg in 2000

met him at the LB grand Prix last year

the car when i sold it

the car has a history of running upfront

I am very proud of the fact that in 30 years I never crashed a car. (that's not to say there wasn't some pushing and shoving )
The only time I got hurt was a karting race and I was in my early 20's

The old man had a good run.

We got him a carbon fiber rocking chair for Christmas.

So somebody called me up on this and gave me some flack. He said " what about Las Vegas"? I guess I thought that getting hit from behind and center punched was not me crashing my car. You be the judge

There is a big difference between someone else hitting YOU...and you making a mistake that puts the car in the wall etc..... Not only did Mark A race many different types of cars, he also endurance raced including 24 hours of lemons for me and never had an incident. Sadly I am the only driver I had that had minor hits on track (two)..one was my fault for jumping a novice drivers apex and other I got hit in the back...but both were minor...Here is a video of some close calls Mark A had in our first lemons race

There was also this other endurance race I did in 1997 that you may have heard of the 24 at Daytona
Brian I look back at those Lemons races with lots of smiles. I never would have guessed it would be so fun.
