Gary,
I have the dished steering wheel on the right from this link:

I also use their quick release.

Thanks for sharing Doug. Brilliant stuff. Second best-spent 27 minutes of my Monday (and that's saying something!).

Great video Doug, thanks for posting! Sure wish I could join you guys.

Did you happen to speak with Viau after the race? I'm curious if it was Viau Jr. or Viau Sr. I've had some very good and close races with Jr. in the past and have enjoyed racing with him.

Hey Joe,
That was Bob Sr.
Jr. did not race.
Bob and I had a few beers together at Siebkens that night

Doug, fun video to watch. You made it look easy! I felt like my drive for third was a lot tougher to achieve. Great job!

Great stuff. Don't hold out on us like that. It's a long winter!

Watching the black 944 in your rearview mirror slam back and forth between the walls like a pinball was horrible. That looks like a scary place.

Definitely one scary place that kink... It eats cars year after year... You go in fast and you have no idea what sort of debris or accident or carnage there might be waiting for you on the other side and there is little to no room to evade should you need to...
