I drove a CTS-V recently. The fact that it was a slushbox didn't do it any favors, but I mostly liked it. It feels huge though.
More importantly, what the hell happened to your Vette?
...used to live down the road from Willow Springs. Neat place, they race just about everything there.
Yeah, saw the thread after I posted that. Bummer dude. I tried to take the M3 out for a back road rip on Saturday, only to get to the loop I had planned and find it a bit icy. Decided not to push my luck, which was probably for the best.
Aaahhh...ees pohrushun!!!
Awesome.

Those dudes were total bada$$

Especially when you see the doc that Rice posted about how fragile the cars where and how they offered no crash protection and were really good at catching fire.Those dudes were total bada$$
Jochen Rindt:
This.
Best example was Rindt. He was trying to convince his mechanics to reinforce the semi axis of his car.
They never did it because of the additional weight (listen MTBers!
).
I think we know what happened afterwards. Pretty tragic.

what doc are you talking about? i want to read it.
those years were crazy, no seatbelts (because it was better to be thrown out of the car, than to stay put), trees lining the racetracks, the masta kink in spa in rain... you seriously had to be somewhat crazy to drive those cars.
clark, sitting between dozens of gallons of gasoline.
doc as in documentary. it was posted here in the Lounge but I do not remember where.
Yes, I think that is the one. It was good by sad to see so many die.
Guy who runs /owns the Subby dealership by me was an open cockpit racer back in the day...Dieter Frentzen. He still has a car in the shop...kind of a midget thing he still races.

the documentary where the guy burns alive in his car and the safety Marshall's do nothing....
that's the one, it's a BBC documentary if that helps hunting it down
Grand Prix: the Killer Years is the documentary....awesome, awesome film....and really because of the great Sid Watkins, no one has died since Senna in 1994.
there were a few instances of drivers being burned alive or nearly being burned alive. those track marshalls were ill equipped for such things and sometimes their fellow drivers came in to help out (see Lauda/Hunt)
