I was talking to a friend, who said that someone put a 944 Turbo into the end of the wall on the main straight at Riverside in Mission. Apparently it happened on Tuesday during a BMW club DE day. Wet track, questionable tire tread were reported to be the cause.

Does anyone know who's car it was? Another one bites the dust.

 

Wasnt me thats for sure, I put mine into a wall in Abbotsford
Hope the driver was okay though.
I wonder how that happened unless he missed keeping to the right there before turn 1. ??

 

Yeah, I kinda guessed it wasn't you Lance. Apparently driver and instructor are okay, car is not. Heard from Rich lately?

I checked the BMW club website, they had an Advanced Driver's Training day there on Monday, so that must have been when it occurred. Apparently the driver lifted off the throttle in the chicane before Turn 1, car got sideways and went into the end of the wall. Track was wet and tires may not have been great(?) Expensive day at the track.

 

I just got the parts you shipped me, they were well packed and look good. Thanks, bud. Your car met a noble end, and will live on!

 

Thanks Peckster, glad you are happy with the parts.
Rich was supposed to be going to Seattle this weekend, I heard from him last week, I am sure if it was him he would have let me or Randy know.

 

watch ebay, we'll find out.

 

K27, any parts left? Again, I don't have Excel at home so I couldn't check your last list. Really sorry I missed the MO30's.

 

Let me know what you need, I still have some stuff left.

thanks
Lance

 

Only thing I'm really shopping for is a gauge panel for under the radio plus gauges BUT I'm always looking for any parts step up when it comes available.

 

Cool, keep in touch

 

Ian Manning, Randy Jang and I just got back from Seattle. I spun my car 360 right in between two cones, but no damage. I didn't even leave the track.

S2Nut's car is parked and I think Mike W. was doing something else. There's still a lot of other 944T's out here...

 

Now, WHY would you assume it was me???

 

Great, Glad you guys are all good. hey guess what, I bin drivin 911's today

 

I got a ride around PRI in a 72 911S. Racing slicks and some other goodies. It felt like a fighter jet on rails. Simply awsome. If you can get into an older 911 for around $15,000 and dump some mods into brakes and susp and slicks - man you'll be embarassing a lot of newer cars.

 

i drove a brand new boxster today, non s, impressed with everything but excelleration.
