> I think mine was Screaming down the track in Senna's Lotus F1 car in
> Montreal. :)


Mine was in the Camel Lights car at at the Daytona 24 hour race.  Geoff
Brabham in the Nissan on the high grove at 210mph passing me, Me in the #2
Groove at 190mph passing Dorsey Schroder who is doing 170 and is passing
Steve DeBrecht who is doing 150.  Mark Webber shot a great picture of the 4
of us side by side in the middle of the turn on the high bank.

Next best Moment was 6 hours later next to Brabham again and Having the
Right Cylinder head depart for the engine and take the engine cover and 60%
of my downforce with it... All at 190mph.  Made for a very busy moment
trying not to clobber The Nissan, stay off the wall and get the car off the
track without oiling it down too much! Again I have a great set of photos of
the engine cover coming off the car and the HUGE ball of fire.  In One photo
you can see the cyl head about 70 feet ABOVE the car.
