Sweet right???
I made it all the way home, however, 11 days later at 3AM it was in 1000 pieces on the streets of L.A.
But thanks to the genius of Dan Cragin of DC performance and Ole of Scandinavian coach craft, one year later, we are back in action and slithering around so. Cal once again. I'm also glad to say that it hasn't lost a step!
The story of what happened will have to be for another day due to insurance racing regs. I will let you know one thing, I made the ultimate sacrifice...(the car of course) although I might have been going sideways, I did cross the line first.
Thank god no one was hurt.
(Now-then...here Ferrari, Ferrari...)
