We all have our special moments on the track, autoxing, running an enduro or some special motor sports event. What's yours? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

My first DE ever...at VIR....you never forget your first time....
Had just bought "Buttercup" 2 weeks before & now in Green with Mike instructing... Went agricultural due to lifting in turn 4 & hard street tires not helping at all....no harm done. Great sessions on first 2 days, started getting into the rhythm of the track... Third day, second session came out of Oak Tree turn & hammered down that long back straight--crested the hill & BAM, no power, smoke & flames in rear view mirror. Mike, ever the perfect instructor hollers in the intercom "Why'd you lift?" Me..."We're on fire, grab the fire bottle on your way out" as we come to a stop to the right. Came in on the hook, no fire damage but shrapneled out the #4 piston from the top of the case through a fist-sized hole. Sooo...."Favorite" maybe not....but certainly most memorable for sure!
