Could use a boost... Some Road Atlanta in car video and a good cause.

JP Jr was regarded as a very talented driver with great potential.
Sad to hear of his illness.

Good info thanks for sharing that. I cant imagine the desparate feeling of waiting for the medicine to transition from the mouse phase to the human phase.

I was very fortunate to spend a long weekend working with JP Jr at LRP when he drove for the PTG BMW M3 Team along with David Donohue. Nice guy. David is too.

Yes, you are right. Both of the videos above are with 1 bar and jr used to turn it up until his dad took the **** off.

OMG, not even close. We use to run 1.3 bar all the time for sprint races and that's a big difference over what you see in the videos.

Still,.. its really nice to see & hear those machines run again.
