Audi guys at Pocono last week....Walkins Glen this week

Hey guys - 
I forgot to mention this, but there was an Audi school at Pocono right before 
the PCA race - I guess someone wrecked an "S2" - that's what I was told - 
although I had trouble getting details.  Apparently it was an aftermarket, 
not a factory jobby.  Anyone know who it was?  Also there was a SEMA or 
something event, and several A4/S4's showed - pretty neat.  Didn't get to 
watch any of them, but my guess is that they got whipped by the pretty mean 
looking sports racers that showed.  Anyone who was there, I was with my 
friend who won his class, 4th overall - number 72 yellow 911 (993) in group 
1.  Pretty wild event, overall - it rained mid race, and our other friend, 
Jim Grady in the 1992 968 Turbo RS with around 530hp, didn't fair to well 
with the change in conditions, but managed a late braking pass at around 
140mph off the banking to take the lead on the last lap over the 550-600hp 
930 turbo leading.  Neato to watch.  Makes you feel pretty slow - my friend 
turns .56's at Limerock - only about 10secs faster than I think I can go in 
the car now :-).  Also, Grady's 968 does somewhere in the neighborhood of 
185mph at the Glen on the straight, and turns 1:50's....on the long course.  
Consider that next time you think you're "flying"...
I'm off to Walkins Glen tomorrow, full report on Monday - I'm going to try to 
run the 225's....

Later!
