All Trackies WORST Nightmare.. After a Terriffic Day yesterday @ Lime Rock Park,Sun & 60 deg, todays session in the rain & chill (40 ish) almost spelt disaster for a high offical of CVR region (as instructor) & driver of Gold 944 Turbo.
The track was wet w/ light rain & as they came out of the right hander into No Name Straight, "tight",We're told it started a double spin on up into the berm ...track right, & proceeded to spin on axis of Each end! Had No roll bar..but the "B" pillers held as all else was pancaked. While we didn't see the passengers.. we're told they seemed "OK" & got out on their own. Thank Goodness!!
Our Best wishes that that is so.
PS. My better half is going to attempt to post some video of the car being towed in ( atleast stills)

Go ahead and flame me, Yes I was drunk, Yes I also quit drinking and go to meetings, but I spun my first 944 into a wall at 130 MPH and walked away. NO BROKEN GLASS, NOT EVEN THE MIRROR. Germany definately has it together!!!
