Default Just finished rebuilding my car - again

The race season had an unlucky start for me.

First race was at my favorite track - Spa/Francorchamps. I trained quite well: First and second in class. First race was at a rather slippery track. Spa/Francorchamps has that a lot. Spun off in very good position, hit a wall at 50mph and lost my nose.

But, the car, lovingly called "The Beast" by the competitors, lives again, looking better than ever! And: Finished first in the race last weekend!

That's great news Hans. Glad to hear that there wasn't any major damage. Did you do any further changes in the off season? What doors are you using there?

Looking good! You should put a counter in your signature with the number of hours invested in that car.

looks fantastic Hans. at 50mph you were lucky not to twist the tub. Glad it is all back together now and as you say........... looking better than ever!

This has to be one of (if not the) the best 944 track cars out there. We do however need more pics
