Happy Birthday Kibort. I must have spent hours watching 928 videos of you racing the Holbert car when I was 928 shopping 5-6 years ago. I still love watching you race.

Oh, I was wondering, what would be the best way to get an extra gear in the 928 for racing? Also, what oil do you think I should use?

Is that why Formula 1 engines have less than 300 ft lbs. of torque with over 900hp?

What do they sell on TV during F1? Viagra?

Happy Birthday, Mark.

Happy B day Mark. BTW in the 1st race I really liked the way you drove. I would like to see what you could do with an extra 75-100 under the hood, I bet it would be a good race.
