George - Congrats on the 189. Sorry about the engine. I know how that goes. I feel your pain.
Rich - You're like the black angel of death when it comes to motors & 928 events . . . Only kidding, only love here.
Glad you're both safe and sound. Must have been a nervous moment when the engine shut off and you had no power steering to make the corner for the first or the second turn-off. Good job George recognizing the problem and staying in control.

True, but you always seem to be lurking.
Waiting.
Circling.
Like a 928 buzzard, waiting to clean the bones of the departed.
Did you get that car in MT?
Richard S claims another victim.

Sorry Bud, just trying to lighten your mood.

I strive to understand the basis for behavior of suspensions....I know how to set shocks for types of driving, but still do not understand your results.
Someday when I have time, I will take a good look at your 928 and the shocks, there is a logical explanation there that we just don't see....at least now.
No magic in 928, just science.
Now back to the science of going fast.....!!!

Thanks Bill,
I do have the first leg recorded, I just don't have time to edit and convert
it right now. I have ~6,000 photos to go through for the Event Photos.
George
P.S. I talked to Dave today, and he found the oil pan full of water.

George, do you have video from the first leg?
